Hospital environments are home to countless microorganisms, often transmitted through direct contact with frequently touched surfaces.
Traditional items such as bed rails, reusable patient care equipment, and especially cabinet curtains contribute to cross-contamination.
However, Privetek's Switchable glass technology emerged as a revolutionary solution, offering a healthier and more hygienic approach to patient privacy.
Maintaining a clean environment through regular cleaning is imperative to ensure patient safety in a healthcare facility.
The prevalence of microorganisms on frequently touched surfaces poses a risk for transmission of serious infections such as MRSA, C-diff and VRE. Cubicle curtains, a common hotspot for germs, have been identified as a source of bacterial cross-contamination.
Privetek's Switchable Glass Partitions address this persistent issue by replacing hard-to-clean curtains with smooth glass surfaces.
Unlike curtains requiring periodic removal, laundering, and rehanging, smart glass partitions can be easily cleaned multiple times a day.
The switch-activated privacy glass allows for targeted sanitization and more frequent cleaning schedules, augmented by the application of an anti-microbial coating on both the glass and switch to further reduce pathogen spread.
This innovative solution not only enhances hospital hygiene but also respects patient privacy.
With a swift transition from transparent to opaque in less than 0.1 seconds, switchable glass provides instant control over patient visibility.Activation methods include wall switches, remote controls, movement sensors, or voice commands, offering a zero-touch solution.
In intensive care settings, where frequent patient checks are essential, this technology ensures a safer and more hygienic environment.
In regular wards, it grants patients greater autonomy over their surroundings. Smart glass partitions contribute to noise control, surpassing the effectiveness of traditional curtains.
With a sound level of approximately 35 dB, these partitions create a quieter atmosphere, promoting rest and improving the healing environment.
In addition, the glass allows the transmission of natural light, creating a bright and spacious atmosphere, which has a positive impact on patient recovery and staff morale.
In the field of hospital renovation and upgrading, Privetek's Switchable glass proves to be very flexible.Serving as both a smart alternative to cabin partitions and as interior partitions, it intelligently optimizes available space.
The convenient service provided by Privetek ensures that each installation is tailored to the specific needs of the hospital environment, providing the ideal solution for clinical spaces that require a harmonious combination compromise between hygiene and privacy.
Smart glass solutions can be seamlessly integrated throughout a hospital's design, fostering a clean, positive environment conducive to faster patient recovery.
