Medical privacy curtains are a vector for infection. Their effective management – timely laundering in a manner that reduces pathogens to a level that does not pose a threat to patient health – is an essential part of any hospital’s infection prevention program.

Hospital infection prevention professionals are more focused than ever on minimizing the spread of bacteria and sanitizing common points for infection, like hospital floors.
