Disposable Curtains

[Janine Egart]

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone can provide information on disposable curtains that they may have used, currently using or any trials that may be happening?
I’m struggling to find comprehensive data on how long curtains should hang when used in conjunction with a patient with a MRO.

I have reviewed 3 different companies and they suggest that they should:

* be replaced sooner if used with infectious patients
* 6 months
* 12 months
* 18 months

Be grateful for any information that you can provide.
Thanks
Janine
