Hospital curtains – do you dare touch them?

Hospital curtains – do you dare touch them?

Hospital curtains and hospital drapes are used as a private enclosure for one or more patients. However, privacy curtains and drapes carry large numbers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. When staff or patients touch the privacy curtains or cubicle curtains, they risk transferring these bacteria to other patients.

Curtains carry on bacteria to the next patient

Although new patients are given clean bed linen and clean beds, the privacy curtains are not taken down and replaced with a clean curtain. So, when new patients take over the previous patients’ hospital drapes, they are also at risk of inheriting their bacteria, because the curtains hide many infectious bacteria.
