Hi there, we had these curtains up in our ICU for 12 months with no issues. We replaced them once due to a contact precautions patient being in a side room. As for the antimicrobial factor I am still not sure it works. However they are very good at being able to be sponged clean if a small spillage occurs on them.

I have a few questions today on disposable curtains and their use in general and Transmission based precaution rooms. The company claims that the curtains in anti-microbial and can hang for up to 12 months, unless contaminated. Does anyone currently uses these curtains in your facilities, and if so:
1. How often do you change them?
2. Do you throw them out when a patient gets discharged from a Transmission based precautions room?
3. If it gets thrown out, do you do it for all organisms, or just for Droplet and Contact spread organisms?Thank you

We here in Dunedin are trialing a full set for 1 year in our ICU as per
the manufacturers instructions. We are using the antimicrobial
inpregnated ones, which here in NZ cost between $55 – $80 a set. However
I have managed to locate some othere, imported from the UK as all of
them seem to be these days, which are significantly cheaper but do not
have the antimicrobial coating. As yet we are not trialling them.
So far there has been a positive respons eto them, apart from the need
to make sure you have a the correct track fitting, we didn’t, and hence
they come off of our tracks a little bit more frequently then expected.
They do ‘sponge’ clean to remove small markings/stainings. They provide
excellent shielding between patients (we have an open barn style ICU),
look attractive -we went with the deep blue, and give some noise
deadening ability as well.
I hope that is of some use.________________________________
