# Hospital Pleated Blind

Pleated blind in the hospital. Patient-room privacy, instant closure in examination areas and hygienic-cleaning fit. Fully suits the hospital cleaning rule.

## Hospital Analysis

In the hospital room the blind is the patient’s privacy. At examination, dressing and visiting moments a barrier closing in a second is needed. The pleated blind cuts the view with full closure on the room glass and the corridor partition. The wipeable fabric suits the cleaning programme. The fast control of the staff at the patient’s head is also accounted for.

### Patient Privacy

On the room glass and the glazed partition the blind fully closes at examination time. The patient is hidden from view.

### Instant Closure

While the staff is in motion the blind closes with a single move. Privacy is built before the examination.

### Hygienic Surface

The wipeable fabric suits the disinfection programme. The blind is part of the hygiene plan.

### Corridor Glazed Partitions

On the glass between the room and the corridor the blind protects the patient from the corridor view. When open it stays bright.

## The Patient-Room and Service-Area Separation in the Hospital

In the hospital blind the institution standard comes before personal preference. The patient room, the examination partition and the service corridor carry different hygiene and privacy conditions. The pleated fabric’s wipeable surface suits the disinfection rule. The structure not wanting washing allows surface cleaning within a minute.

In the patient room blackout is part of the recovery. [Full blackout](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/blackout-pleated-blinds/) for daytime sleep and a semi-transparent layer at visiting hours are solved in the same unit with the [day-night model](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/day-night-pleated-blind/). On the corridor partition where the stretcher and the equipment pass, [cordless control](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/pleated-blind-systems/) zeroes the snagging risk.

In the examination and intervention partition full closure is a condition. The pleated blind built on the wall line instead of a screen leaves the floor open to cleaning equipment and gives fixed privacy. The maintenance plan runs with the hospital’s hygiene calendar. The fabric and the rail are registered as separate parts.

In the emergency service and intensive care the blind’s speed affects the intervention duration. Pulling a screen takes seconds. The pleated unit opens with a single move. This difference is the choice reason in the critical unit. The staff focuses on the patient.

In the hospital project the unit count is large. The room, partition and corridor list comes out of the floor plan. Each unit’s fabric and control type is numbered in the project. Mounting is made floor by floor and outside service hours. An order not clashing with patient traffic is built separately.

In newborn and intensive care, light management is part of the protocol. Adjusted blackout is used for the baby’s day-night rhythm. The unit is kept on a line visible from the nurse station, it opens fully at intervention.

In the waiting hall and the laboratory section the blind colour suits the institution identity. White and light grey are part of the clinical standard, the [printed series](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/textured-pleated-blinds/) is taken in paediatrics. The colour is taken independent of the technical feature. The performance stays the same.

The companion area’s window share is separate from the patient side. At the companion-armchair corner privacy and night dimness are wanted. On the bed façade a half position not cutting the nurse’s control remains. Two needs are solved with separate positions in the same room.

On the night shift the corridor light leaks into the room. The unit cutting the light passage between the door glass and the façade is taken to the night position. In the morning round the units are given the day position in a single pass.

The fire and escape plan does not affect the unit position. The unit stays on the joinery, it does not cut the escape door. On the emergency-exit glass the unit accompanying the sash is checked in the plan.

Application Notes

## Mounting & Selection for Hospital

### Cleaning Protocol

The fabric is taken per the hospital hygiene standard. A wipeable and disinfectant-resistant series is made.
