Unlike disinfectants coating which provide a limited residual activity once the treated surface dries, built-in Microban antimicrobial technology works to continuously minimize the presence of microbes throughout the entire life-cycle of a curtain.
KEY FACT: Even after disinfection, bacterial numbers rebound by 2 hours!
Microban antimicrobial technology is not a spray-on but built-in to the polymer structure of the non-woven fabric at the point of manufacture. The antimicrobial active components are evenly distributed throughout the whole curtain. Its efficacy covers the entire lifespan of the curtain.
Microban technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. The biocidal active components of Microban are notified with the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and OEKO-TEX listed.

Disclaimer: The comparative information of disinfectants in the above table are only applicable to disinfectants coated on disposable curtains made of non-woven fabric.
EcoMed disposable hospital curtains treated with Microban technology are tested for their antibacterial and antiviral efficacy in accordance with internationally recognised test standards ISO 20743 and ISO 18184.
ISO 20743: Determination of antibacterial activity of textile products. ISO 20743 specifies quantitative test methods to determine the antibacterial activity of all antibacterial textile products including non-woven fabric.
ISO 18184: Determination of antiviral activity of textile products. ISO 18184 is an antiviral textile test that measures virucidal antimicrobial activity on textiles, non-woven and other porous materials against specific viruses.
Tests for antimicrobial activity have been conducted on EcoMed curtain which was used for three years. The curtain has been proven to still kill up to 99.99% of bacteria.

Disclaimer: EcoMed disposable curtain has been treated with a Microban® antiviral technology to reduce the viral load on the surface by 99.99% within 2 hours, as per the ISO 18184 test method (against H1N1 Influenza A virus). Testing conducted at SGS. Microban® technology is not designed to protect the user of this product or others against disease-causing microorganisms and is not a substitute for normal cleaning practices. And Microban® antiviral technology is not designed to protect users or others against viruses. Normal cleaning and hygiene practices should be maintained.

How to Clean and Maintain
In the case of minor stains, use tissue or a clean cloth to wipe off blood or bodily fluids immediately. The area should then be cleaned with a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution, or the curtain should be replaced immediately if there is a large amount of blood contamination. For dust removal, a clean cloth or a vacuum cleaner may be used.
Ecomed antimicrobial curtains represent a strategic investment aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Therefore, Ecomed is not merely a curtain replacement, but a transformation that elevates hospitals to international standards of safety, quality, and sustainability.
EcoMed Curtain: 100% Recyclable for a Sustainable Future
EcoMed curtains can be recycled into plastic pellets and repurposed into reusable hospital equipment, thereby reducing waste and conserving resources. This initiative supports the Green Hospital concept while advancing sustainable development in line with the SDGs and ESG principles.
Yes. Each EcoMed disposable cubicle curtain complies with the same fire retardancy standards as conventional cubicle curtains:
● BS 5867 Part 2 Type C 2008 (British Standard);
● NFPA 701:2023 (American Standard);
● AS 2755.2:1985(R2013) (Australian Standard);
● AS/NZ 1530.3:1999 (New Zealand Standards);
● EN13772, EN13773 Class 1 (European Standards).
We test every batch of the curtains. Testing reports are avaialble upon request.
Yes. The use of EcoMed disposable curtains provides a cost effective solution to the management of hospital curtains:
● Much cheaper than conventional cubicle curtains
● No curtain laundry costs
● No capital outlay for curtains
● No disruption to ward area during change of curtains
Yes. EcoMed disposable curtains have been developed to fit directly to the vast majority of cubicle curtain track currently in use. There is no need for costly modifications to your track. Furthermore you can switch between conventional and disposable curtains at any time. Our curtain hooks are fully compatible with:
Yes. EcoMed disposable cubicle curtains are treated with Ultra-Fresh® built-in antimicrobial additives. The Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial additives(EPA&FDA registered) is not a spray-on, is built into the polymer structure of the non-woven fabric at the point of manufacture. The antibacterial active is evenly distributed throughout the whole curtain. Its effectiveness will last the life of the curtains. It's proven to be effective agains MRSA, E. Coli, VRE, P. aeruginosa, C. difficile and etc. Testing reports are available upon request.
It is an industry standard that the curtains are changed every 6 months. EcoMed curtains are durable and have shown that they can stay hanging for upto TWO years, however we would recommend that each hospital carries out it's own assessment to set the frequency at which the curtains should be changed in different areas. Each curtain has a self audit label so that you can easily see when it was last changed and can be included within your existing infection control procedures.
We offer 10 stocked most popular colours, along with custom peadiatric printing patterns which suit most healthcare environments:

Yes. Three regular sizes of disposable curtains are available:
Combined with our custom making service, we can offer options to suit every cubicle or window requirement.
Details of the date that the curtains have been fitted, the fire retardancy and the re-order code are clearly visible to allow simple auditing procedures to be applied.
Yes. The EcoMed disposable curtains are made from 100% polypropylene which has one of the lowest environmental impacts of any material - synthetic or traditional.
EcoMed disposbale cubicle curtains are made of 100% polypropylene non-woven, are 100% recyclable as non-clinical waste. So when it is time for replacement they can be disposed of safely and environmently. Just bin it. However, in some circumstances where hospital risk assessments dictate, waste should be classified as clinical waste, (e.g., isolation rooms where disposable aprons and gloves are used) then disposable curtains should be integrated into risk assessed procedures.
Ultra-Fresh antibacterial protection is built into disposable curtains to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew that can cause stains, odours and product deterioration. When used in conjunction with good hygiene practices, Ultra-Fresh technology works between cleanings to inhibit the growth of these broad spectrum bacteria and moulds, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Ultra-Fresh antibacterial additives are built in for the useful life of the disposable curtains; they will not wash out, or wear away.
Durability studies have been successfully carried out to simulate a range of conditions that demonstrate the performance of the technology being used, during the useful life of the product.
Recently, numerous reports and concerns have been raised about the use of nanotechnology. The antibacterial products developed and used by Ultra-Fresh are not based on nanoparticle technology. Therefore, our antibacterial technologies are not linked to the concerns reported or associated with nanotechnology based antibacterials.
This statement also applies to Ultra-Fresh silver additives which are approved for use in plastic materials and articles that are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
Ultra-Fresh treated disposable curtains will contain the antibacterial treatment until the end of their useful life and until recycled. The active antibacterial additive will be present at low concentrations at the point of recycling. If, for example, the disposable curtains fabric is re-melted and mixed with other post consumer waste of a similar type, the active antibacterial will be diluted but still remain in the resultant blend. The antibacterial efficacy will diminish as the additive is diluted during the recycling process.
Disinfectants are an instant but short term solution that provides only a limited residual activity once the treated surface dries. Bacteria can then very quickly start to grow and reproduce. As an alternative, Ultra-Fresh antibacterial additives guarantee long lasting protection, continuously working to prevent the growth of bacteria throughout the entire lifecycle of disposable curtains.
