Frequently Asked Questions

Curtains per bed: 75%-85% of US hospital cubicle tracks are 9’-14’ in length and require multiple panels with a no ladder solution. If using a curtain that is 66”-70” wide, the track will require 3 panels.

Laundering cost: Laundering costs can range anywhere from $8-$12 per panel.

Laundering loss: This is the hidden cost of laundering due to loss, damaged mesh, or curtains that are visibly "ragged out" and unsightly after too many laundering cycles. Nationally, the replacement percentage ranges from 8-10%.

Number of staff: This may range from 1 to 2 staff due to a health and safety risk surrounding use of ladders and your facilities' safety guidelines.

Time for exchange: Time and motion studies show that it takes approximately 45 minutes (start to finish) to exchange ceiling mounted curtains in a patient room due to requiring a ladder. KleenEdge Snap Mesh curtains take 2 minutes to install, while our QuickLoad solution, curtain in hand, installs in 3 seconds.
