As a key supplier to the NHS, here at Opal Health we are excited to be exhibiting our range of disposable curtains at this year’s Infection Prevention Society Exhibition.
Opal Health disposable curtains are the quick, efficient, hygienic alternative to traditional cubicle curtains. Established in 2005, we have been manufacturing and supplying our curtains to NHS Trust hospitals, GP Practices and medical centres across the country for over 10 years.
We are the only company that can offer bulk loading fast-fit curtains for any type of cubicle track, so you can easily switch to our curtains at any time you choose whilst avoiding the need for costly modifications to your existing tracks. Our patented and national awarded winning systems can drastically reduce the time taken to carry out curtain changes providing a cost effective solution to the management of hospital curtains.
We can supply both pandemic and day-to-day supplies and can also offer a fully managed service, including recycling of all curtains, including those classed as clinical waste.
Join the fight against HAIs with Opal Health disposable curtains.
What makes us different is that we don’t coat our curtains with antimicrobial substances as we promote the regular disposal and replacement of curtains as it is the best way to maintain a safe, hygienic environment.
In the past it was standard practice to rely on antimicrobial coatings to enable curtains to remain in place for longer. However, in recent times the thinking behind safe curtain management has changed.
Over the last 12 months, we’ve been discussing the issues surrounding antimicrobial resistance with scientists, microbiologists and Infection Prevention staff. Independent research has shown that the presence of antimicrobial coatings does not prevent contamination and therefore supports the changing of all curtains when an outbreak of infection occurs.
No curtain can offer 100% protection against infection so our philosophy is simple, patient safety is paramount – so don’t risk it, bin it. Our curtains are so fast and easy to replace that regularly changing your curtains is the only way to ensure they aren’t harbouring bacteria. A regular and responsive programme makes your hospital safer, faster.
Opal Health continues to innovate and we are constantly developing new products to further improve our disposable curtain systems.
Visit us at stand 65 and see how our cost and time saving advantages can help reduce your infection rates, we will happily discuss setting up a free trial area.
