The Infection Risk Hiding in Plain Sight

Cubicle curtains are among the most frequently touched surfaces in hospitals, yet they remain one of the least regulated in infection control.

Despite decades of progress, 1 in 31 hospitalized patients still develops a healthcare-associated infection (HAI). While prevention efforts focus heavily on devices and surgical sites, 67% of HAIs occur outside these areas, often linked to everyday, high-touch surfaces.

Research shows that privacy curtains are handled immediately before and after patient care, allowing them to harbor and transfer pathogens.

Engineered for Safety

That’s why CuraShield was developed to transform privacy curtains from a passive furnishing into an active infection-prevention solution, working continuously without adding to the clinical workload.
