C/S Cubicle Curtains

Hospital infections kill more Americans each year than AIDS, car accidents and breast cancer combined.*

Hospital room cleanliness is critical in

preventing patients from contracting

serious infections yet the changing of

cubicle curtains is often overlooked.

A study published in Infection Control

and Hospital Epidemiology found that

a high percentage of hospital curtains

were contaminated with MRSA, VRE and

C-Diff. Further study found that each of

these organisms was transferred to the

hands of hospital workers. With close

to 18,000 deaths in the United States

alone, it is clear that the cleaning of

cubicle curtains to reduce the risk

of infection is essential. C/S Cubicle

Curtains offers hospitals four easy

ways to help them keep their cubicle

curtains clean.

There is a solution: Changing the curtains between each patient.

C/S gives you four ways to do that quickly, easily and economically.

* Dr. Betsy McCaughey, founder of the Committee to Reduce Infectious Deaths

Enterococci is an antimicrobial resistant bacteria that lives in the intestines.

The Clostridium difficile bacterium generally acquired in hospitals causes inflammation of the colon.

MRSA is a staph infection caused by S. aureus that lives on the skin or in the nasal passage.

Doctors and nurses may clean hands or wear protective gloves coming into a patient’s room, but they are recontaminated with opening or closing a privacy curtain.

C/S Cubicle Curtains

We manufacture the finest privacy curtains available anywhere.

One look says it all!

The attention to details on every C/S curtain is evident,

whether you specify one of our standard fabrics (page 14-19)

or a custom designer fabric from any textile house. All of our

privacy curtains feature double needle interlock stitching

for durability and a finished look. Additionally, all edges of

our nylon mesh are completely bound with the same

fabric as the body of the curtain, and the grommets at

the top of the curtain are firmly anchored to triple thick

hems for long life. C/S also offers a complete line of color-

coordinated nylon mesh to minimize its appearance

at the top of each curtain. And all of our curtains meet

the flame resistant regulation NFPA requires for the use of

privacy curtains in health facilities.

Custom FabricsWe consistently deal with the world’s finest textile companies, including Maharam, Architex, Design Tex, Interspec, Design/Craft and Carnegie. Whichever custom fabric you select for your project, C/S can supply it effortlessly to your exact specifications. Call 800-869-4606 for details.

C/S Cubicle Curtains CompetitorThe nylon mesh on all curtains

are sewn into the body of the curtains. There are no mesh

edges exposed to fray, snag or tear.

Our competitors sew their mesh directly to the back of their curtains without the

use of hems. These curtains have an unfinished appearance and can

tear, snag or fray.

New Temporary Loaner Program If you need fresh new curtains until your custom fabric curtains are complete, we’ll be happy to lend you as many as you require.

Quality makes the difference.All C/S Cubicle Curtains are manufactured using double needle interlock tailoring. This process ensures durability, and the curtains will have a finished look on both sides where the nylon mesh meets the curtain.

Introducing C/S Disposable Curtains

BIOHAZARD

SandLight BlueBlue Green

Ideal for highly contagious areasC/S Disposable Curtains are perfect for critical care, isolations and emergency areas in healthcare facilities. C/S Disposable Curtains look just like fabric curtains and are cost effective when compared with the life-cycle cost of traditional fabric curtains. Isolation curtains can be hung on any of our track systems or any standard curtain track. C/S Isolation Curtains are manufactured from 100% recyclable material, they are 99% biodegradable and they meet NFPA 701 standards and are extremely strong. An antimicrobial finish is standard on all curtains. Our isolation curtains are available with and without mesh, and both types come in a protective hygienic sleeve.

Snap Lock

C/S’ Snap Lock Curtain System is designed to help facilities easily and effectively deal with the cleaning of privacy curtains. This curtain system eliminates the hassles and dangers of removing cubicle curtains from ceiling mounted track systems. Instead of getting on a ladder to remove the privacy curtain, Snap Lock allows the hospitals’ maintenance staff to separate the fabric portion of the curtain from the mesh while standing on the ground. Soiled curtains are then laundered, and the maintenance staff snaps clean curtains back onto the mesh. And Snap Lock curtains are designed to be modular, so a facility can buy dozens of the same curtain in a specific size and use them interchangeably from room to room. This affords the hospital an easy way to manage its curtains and to always have spares on hand. And modular curtains can save facilities money, by not having to purchase a lot of custom or different size curtains.

A modular curtain system that allows you to remove the fabric portion of the curtain for regular washings.

Because of their modular design Snap Lock Curtains can be used in any patient room or other area requiring privacy curtains.
