In the dynamic environment of perioperative care, healthcare staff are responsible for the supervision and treatment of patients preparing for, receiving, or recovering from surgery. Silentia privacy screens can be valuable tools for improving perioperative care by creating private spaces that grant patients dignity, safety, and comfort.
Perioperative care is comprised of many environments, including assessment areas, preparation rooms, surgical wards, operating departments, post-anesthetic recovery rooms, and outpatient clinics. Each area requires different levels of treatment, observation, length of stay, and follow-up procedures, which means healthcare staff must be able to adapt to changing needs as patients change.
Silentia screens are designed to reduce time, labor, and materials costs at every turn. Their hard surfaces can be cleaned in the room with typical surface cleaning wipes or solutions, promoting infection control with more frequent cleaning and expedited room turnover. Plus, durable construction that stands up to the wear and tear of frequent use has been proven to last more than 10 years.
Need to see real-life perioperative applications of the Silentia screen system? We have gathered some examples from perioperative departments in hospitals across the country and around the world. They’re tailor-made to tackle all sorts of challenges, like making sure patients feel safe and respected, keeping things clean, preventing infections, and keeping the staff and the hospital running smoothly.

The variety of styles, heights, and lengths gives staff the ability to monitor patients while maintaining their privacy.
