Opal disposable curtains are the quick, efficient, hygienic alternative to traditional cubicle curtains. In the past it was standard practice to coat hospital curtains in antimicrobial substances to enable them to remain in place for longer. However, in recent times the thinking behind safe curtain management has changed. Opal Health, guided by our own extensive experience and the expert knowledge of our contacts in the medical profession, are helping to lead the way in the fight against Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) by promoting the regular disposal and replacement of all curtains.
