• Guaranteed regulatory compliance: the classification as a Class 1 medical device according to directive 93/42/EEC eliminates administrative risks and ensures compliance with binding healthcare standards.
• Operational stability in critical environments: the 4 adjustable feet compensate for floor irregularities, preventing oscillations during medical procedures and maintaining protection during movement.
• Ease of sanitization: the epoxy-coated oval tube structure resists detergents and chemical disinfectants, reducing cleaning times between shifts without compromising the structure’s integrity.
• Portability and spatial flexibility: the folding panels and weight of 14 kg allow for rapid repositioning between departments and space optimization in dynamic hospital layouts.
• Uniform and reliable coverage: the cotton curtains guarantee complete visual isolation without transparency points, essential for patient privacy and the reduction of distractions in the operating room.
• Durability in high-turnover environments: the 30 x 15 mm oval tube and epoxy powder coating ensure repeated mechanical resistance in high-frequency healthcare environments.

The privacy screen is used in private and public medical practices to separate examination areas and ensure privacy during consultations. In operating rooms and surgical clinics, it isolates the sterile field from transit zones, reducing the risk of contamination. In hospitals and inpatient wards, it creates visual separation between beds and patient preparation areas, essential in contexts where privacy is a regulatory requirement. It is also used in diagnostic centers and outpatient clinics for the isolation of sampling and treatment stations.

Choose this screen when it is mandatory to comply with regulatory standards for medical devices (directive 93/42/EEC) without investing in complex or expensive solutions. It is the correct choice in environments where frequent sanitization is critical, as it resists aggressive hospital cleaning protocols. It represents the ideal solution if you have a need for mobility between departments and variable spaces: the low weight (14 kg) and foldability allow for manual transport without dedicated equipment. It is also recommended when space is limited and storage optimization is needed at the end of the shift. The stability guaranteed by the adjustable feet makes it preferable for imperfect flooring, a common condition in hospitals with historic buildings or renovations.

What is the difference between this screen and simple fabric dividers?

This screen is a certified Class 1 medical device compliant with directive 93/42/EEC, which means it has undergone specific safety and compliance assessments for healthcare environments. Simple fabric dividers do not have this qualification and do not guarantee the regulatory requirements required by hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, the painted oval tube structure is designed to resist aggressive chemical disinfectants, unlike generic solutions that degrade rapidly.

Do the adjustable feet maintain stability on sloping floors?

Yes, the 4 adjustable feet are specifically designed to compensate for irregularities and slopes up to standard hospital flooring limits. They allow for the individual adjustment of each foot, guaranteeing uniform support even on surfaces that are not perfectly flat. However, for slopes exceeding 5° or severely irregular floors, a preliminary check is recommended.

Are the cotton curtains washable?

The cotton curtains are removable and can be subjected to standard washing. However, for environments with very high biological contamination (operating rooms), it is advisable to check with the supplier for compatibility with steam sterilization protocols (autoclave) before proceeding, as cotton may undergo shrinkage or alterations.

How much maintenance does the epoxy coating require?

The epoxy powder coating is self-maintaining: it only requires regular cleaning with neutral detergents and common hospital disinfectants (alcohol, hypochlorite). It does not require periodic touch-ups or application of protective waxes if the storage environment is dry. In case of surface scratches, the structure remains functional; for deep damage that exposes the metal, it is advisable to apply touch-up paint to prevent oxidation.

Is the screen also available for public administration purchases?

Yes, the h559_03 model is available on the MEPA portal (Electronic Marketplace for Public Administration), allowing public bodies to procure in compliance with regulations on transparency and purchase traceability.

What are the dimensional differences compared to 3-panel screens?

This 2-panel model offers a total width of 120 cm (60+60) and a weight of 14 kg, ideal for medium-sized separations and easy movement. 3-panel screens provide greater width but with higher structural complexity, higher weight, and greater difficulty in transport. The choice depends on the size of the space and the frequency of movement: for environments requiring mobility and flexibility, the 2-panel model is preferable.
