Privacy screens represent one of the most important pieces of equipment in any healthcare setting. Whether you need portable medical screens for a busy hospital ward or medical screens and curtains for a private clinic, choosing the right privacy solution can make all the difference to patient comfort and care quality. Meditelle stocks a wide range of high quality privacy screens manufactured specifically for use in the medical industry.
Why Medical Screens Matter in Healthcare Settings
Hospital privacy screens serve a vital role in maintaining patient dignity during examinations and treatments. These essential pieces of medical equipment create instant private spaces, allowing healthcare professionals to conduct confidential consultations and examinations without compromising patient privacy.Medical screens provide flexibility that fixed partitions simply cannot match. Staff can quickly reposition portable medical screens to adapt spaces for different needs throughout the day. This adaptability proves especially valuable in busy hospital wards where space requirements change constantly.
Types of Medical Privacy Screens Available
Healthcare facilities can choose from several different screen configurations to meet their specific needs. Three panel screens work well in smaller spaces, while four and five panel options provide greater coverage for larger areas or when complete privacy is essential.Medical screens and curtains come in two main styles.
Vinyl privacy screens feature antimicrobial surfaces that wipe clean easily, making them ideal for infection control.
Polyester curtain screens offer a softer, more welcoming appearance while still maintaining easy cleaning capabilities.
Key Features of Quality Medical Screens
The best hospital privacy screens combine durability with functionality. Free wheeling castors allow staff to move screens effortlessly, even in busy corridors. Double sided construction means screens look professional from every angle, while antimicrobial surfaces help maintain hygiene standards.Colour choices matter more than many people realise. Having a choice of colour options allows facilities to match existing decor or use colours to create visual zones within larger spaces. White and silver frame options provide additional flexibility to complement different interior designs.
Where Medical Privacy Screens Are Used
Hospital wards represent the most common location for privacy screens. These portable medical screens help create private spaces for patient care, medication administration, and family consultations. The ability to quickly reconfigure spaces makes them invaluable in busy ward environments.Clinics and medical practices benefit greatly from medical screens and curtains. Private examination areas can be created instantly, allowing multiple practitioners to work efficiently in shared spaces. This flexibility helps maximise the use of available room space.First aid rooms and occupational health facilities rely on portable medical screens to provide privacy during treatments and consultations. The mobile nature of these screens means they can be stored away when not needed, freeing up valuable floor space.
Complete Room Solutions
Many healthcare facilities prefer to purchase privacy screens as part of
complete room packages. These comprehensive sets combine examination couches, medical trolleys, and privacy screens to create fully functional treatment spaces. This approach ensures all equipment works together seamlessly while simplifying the procurement process.Room sets prove particularly valuable when setting up new facilities or expanding existing ones. Rather than sourcing individual pieces of equipment separately, healthcare providers can equip entire rooms with a single purchase decision.

If frequent repositioning is required, ensure the castors are high quality and designed for regular use. All Meditelle privacy screens feature professional grade castors that move smoothly and quietly.Surface materials should match your cleaning protocols. Vinyl surfaces offer the easiest maintenance and strongest infection control properties, while polyester curtains provide a softer, more residential feel that some patients prefer.
Maintaining Your Medical Privacy Screens
Regular cleaning keeps medical screens looking professional while supporting infection control efforts. Vinyl surfaces can be wiped down with standard healthcare cleaning products, while polyester curtains may require periodic washing or replacement depending on usage levels.Check castors regularly to ensure smooth movement. Well maintained wheels make screens easier to position and reduce noise levels during use. Replace any damaged castors promptly to maintain mobility and prevent floor damage.
