7 Snap Lock A modular curtain system that allows you to remove the fabric portion of the curtain for regular washings. Because of their modular design Snap Lock Curtains can be used in any patient room or other area requiring privacy curtains. C/S Snap Lock Curtain System is designed to help facilities easily and effectively deal with the cleaning of privacy curtains. This curtain system eliminates the hassles and dangers of removing cubicle curtains from ceiling mounted track systems. Instead of getting on a ladder to remove the privacy curtain, Snap Lock allows the hospitals maintenance staff to separate the fabric portion of the curtain from the mesh while standing on the ground. Soiled curtains are then laundered, and the maintenance staff snaps clean curtains back onto the mesh. And Snap Lock curtains are designed to be modular, so a facility can buy dozens of the same curtain in a specific size and use them interchangeably from room to room. This affords the hospital an easy way to manage its curtains and to always have spares on hand. And modular curtains can save facilities money, by not having to purchase a lot of custom or different size curtains.
