Privacy And Dignity Are Assured With Hospital Privacy Screens

Treating a patient's physical illness is only part of what it takes to offer superior medical treatment.  Helping them maintain their privacy and dignity is very important in the process of treating the whole person.  For this reason, hospital privacy screens are absolutely necessary in the medical process.  Whether you are supplying a small doctor's office, a medical lab, or clinic or hospital, there are a number of contemporary screens available to meet the needs of your institution.

For a small office or clinic, the 3-Panel Privacy Screen with Casters is ideal.  It is portable, lightweight, and easy to care for.  The frame is made of powder coated steel, and acts as a frame for a white cotton curtain.  These partitions are made up of four panels, each 27 inches wide.  They fold at the hinges between panels, making them easy to store.  This product, item number 881-0002, sells for $149.95 at promedexpress.com.

Not all hospital screens and dividers have to be plain or simple.  The Hospital Privacy Curtains at medicalproductsdirect.com are available in 8 different color options, and can be made to order.  The medical curtains are generally 96 inches long by 72 inches wide, and are made of 100% flame resistant polyester.  A curtain sells for $244.00.  They are machine washable, and can be tumble dried.  This product is item number A11-W72H96-Win.

If your clinic requires standing privacy screens, but you would prefer something that is easier to clean than the cotton curtains, consider the 3 Panel Designer Privacy Screen at cristiamedicalsupply.com.  This folding privacy screen comes in 22 colors and patterns, so it will go with any office furnishings, and it is made out of vinyl, which wipes clean.  It is treated so it is antimicrobial, antistatic, and odor and stain resistant.  This screen is priced at $268.95.  It stands 70 inches tall and is 84 inches wide.

Modern hospitals do rely entirely on plain white or pastel privacy screens. Many have found that patients, especially children, particularly like colors and textures that make them feel more at home and less like they are in an institution.  Mesh Top Hospital Privacy Curtains and Solid Panel Privacy Curtains, available at medicalproductsdirect.com, come in eight different colors, with a textured design on each.  Curtains are custom ordered and therefore, prices are not listed.  Contact the retailer for a price quote based on your needs.
