Yes. EcoMed disposable cubicle curtains are treated with Ultra-Fresh® built-in antimicrobial additives. The Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial additives(EPA&FDA registered) is not a spray-on, is built into the polymer structure of the non-woven fabric at the point of manufacture. The antibacterial active is evenly distributed throughout the whole curtain. Its effectiveness will last the life of the curtains. It's proven to be effective agains MRSA, E. Coli, VRE, P. aeruginosa, C. difficile and etc. Testing reports are available upon request.

It is an industry standard that the curtains are changed every 6 months. EcoMed curtains are durable and have shown that they can stay hanging for upto TWO years, however we would recommend that each hospital carries out it's own assessment to set the frequency at which the curtains should be changed in different areas. Each curtain has a self audit label so that you can easily see when it was last changed and can be included within your existing infection control procedures.

We offer 10 stocked most popular colours, along with custom peadiatric printing patterns which suit most healthcare environments:
• Medical Blue • Light Blue • Forest Green • Light Green • Yellow • Cream • Peach • Pink • Lilac • Light Grey

Yes. Three regular sizes of disposable curtains are available:

Small - 2.5 meters (1.8 meters track length) 

Medium - 4.5 meters (3.6 meters track length) 

Large - 7.5 meters (5.4 meters track length). 

Combined with our custom making service, we can offer options to suit every cubicle or window requirement.

Details of the date that the curtains have been fitted, the fire retardancy and the re-order code are clearly visible to allow simple auditing procedures to be applied.

Yes. The EcoMed disposable curtains are made from 100% polypropylene which has one of the lowest environmental impacts of any material - synthetic or traditional.

EcoMed disposbale cubicle curtains are made of 100% polypropylene non-woven, are 100% recyclable as non-clinical waste. So when it is time for replacement they can be disposed of safely and environmently. Just bin it. However, in some circumstances where hospital risk assessments dictate, waste should be classified as clinical waste, (e.g., isolation rooms where disposable aprons and gloves are used) then disposable curtains should be integrated into risk assessed procedures. 

Ultra-Fresh antibacterial protection is built into disposable curtains to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew that can cause stains, odours and product deterioration. When used in conjunction with good hygiene practices, Ultra-Fresh technology works between cleanings to inhibit the growth of these broad spectrum bacteria and moulds, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Microban Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. The biocidal active components of Microban are notified with the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and OEKO-TEX listed.

Ultra-Fresh antibacterial additives are built in for the useful life of the disposable curtains; they will not wash out, or wear away. 

Durability studies have been successfully carried out to simulate a range of conditions that demonstrate the performance of the technology being used, during the useful life of the product.

Recently, numerous reports and concerns have been raised about the use of nanotechnology. The antibacterial products developed and used by Ultra-Fresh are not based on nanoparticle technology. Therefore, our antibacterial technologies are not linked to the concerns reported or associated with nanotechnology based antibacterials.

This statement also applies to Ultra-Fresh silver additives which are approved for use in plastic materials and articles that are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

Ultra-Fresh treated disposable curtains will contain the antibacterial treatment until the end of their useful life and until recycled. The active antibacterial additive will be present at low concentrations at the point of recycling. If, for example, the disposable curtains fabric is re-melted and mixed with other post consumer waste of a similar type, the active antibacterial will be diluted but still remain in the resultant blend. The antibacterial efficacy will diminish as the additive is diluted during the recycling process.

Disinfectants are an instant but short term solution that provides only a limited residual activity once the treated surface dries. Bacteria can then very quickly start to grow and reproduce. As an alternative, Ultra-Fresh antibacterial additives guarantee long lasting protection, continuously working to prevent the growth of bacteria throughout the entire lifecycle of disposable curtains.
