Patient privacy ensured

Wall-mounted or mobile folding screens from Silentia provide a flexible means to segregate genders, improve privacy, and help maintain patient dignity on open wards.

A Silentia screen has “excellent sound-absorbing properties”, allowing private conversations to be held a few feet from the neighbouring bed, while two screens can be used to form a cubicle around the bed, affording complete privacy. The screens’ hard, cleanable surface can be simply wiped down, while patented, easily cleanable hinges are designed not to trap dirt, and removable castors can be washed separately. Silentia screens generate no consumable waste, require no laundering and, once installed, form part of the hospital infrastructure.
