Detroit, MI -- (SBWire) -- 01/21/2016 --Pathogens that cause healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) can creep into many locations in a hospital, including those that even experienced healthcare professionals may not expect. According to a recent report from the American Journal of Infection Control, 92% of the hospital privacy curtains – also known as "cubicle curtains" – tested by a research group were contaminated with dangerous bacteria, including MRSA and VRE within a week of their last laundering. Frequently touched by staff but infrequently cleaned, cubicle curtains have become a veritable nightmare for those determined to prevent the spread of disease.

At ImageFIRST Detroit, a provider of scrubs, linens, gowns, and nurse uniforms in Detroit, MI, an innovative cubicle curtain program is available to healthcare providers in order to help stop the spread of infection in a manner that is convenient for hospital staff.

The healthcare laundry provider's specially-designed curtains – rented to facilities, who accordingly need not worry about capital expenditures – are easily changed in just seconds, a task completed by dedicated ImageFIRST associates in order to cut down on the amount of time and labor required from the facility's staff, giving them more time to focus on patient care. These curtains feature RFID technology which the ImageFIRST associate will scan in order to document infection prevention efforts and track the curtains' location, and are routinely changed by ImageFIRST staff on a rigorously-upheld schedule to ensure their sanitation.
