Hospitals and other medical institutions need regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent infection from spreading to the entire area. Since there are many patients with various medical diseases in the hospital, if there are no proper measures and measures, the hospital is prone to bacterial infection.

 

　　The presence of bacteria is high in hospitals and in areas where patients (including medical staff) and many people come into contact or use. Some objects that may be highly infected are:

 

　　medical equipment

 

　　Door handle and light switch panel

 

　　bed linings

 

　　curtain

 

　　Record books

 

　　Telephone

 

　　Kitchen utensils, to name a few

 

　　In addition to what is mentioned, bacteria can also adhere to the air and adhere to the surface, one of which is the curtains of the hospital. Inpatients spend most of their time in the ward. In the case of several patients in the room, bacterial infections will increase and spread faster.

 

　　The wards are separated by curtains in cubicles. In addition to protecting privacy, there are many benefits to using this type of curtain, including:

 

　　Reduce bacterial contamination

 

　　It helps control the spread of fire

 

　　It brings "mood" to the area

 

　　Standard quality cubicle curtains

 

　　The two main features you should look for in cubicle curtains are their antibacterial and flame retardant properties. These two respectively help prevent infection and fires in the facility.

 

　　1. Antibacterial

 

　　Antibacterial agents are agents that kill microorganisms to prevent them from growing and infecting people or objects. According to a published study, hospital curtains with antibacterial properties are more effective in reducing the contamination rate of bacteria in the space.

 

　　There are antibacterial curtains designed for long-term use, as well as disposable curtains. Either way, these two functions are the same.

 

　　2. Flame retardant

 

　　The curtains in the hospital should also be flame-retardant. Not only should they be free from the risk of infection, but they should also be safe in the event of a fire. Especially since the hospital runs various medical equipment at the same time, the hospital should anticipate disasters such as fires.

 

　　In addition to ensuring that medical institutions have standard fire access and fire extinguishers, hospitals should also use flame-retardant fabrics. Flame retardants are agents that prevent the spread of fire by reducing the intensity of the fire. In simple terms, it makes the fabric non-flammable. In this way, when installing flame-retardant curtains, medical institutions should minimize the possibility of fire accidents that occur or spread.
