FAQ's
Q. Why would I
choose these screens over other privacy measures?
A. Our solid wood screens have been in NICUs since 1996.
There have been no complaints about our screens falling, coming
apart, or looking bad. They are easy to move into place at the bedside,
and easy to get out of the way in an urgent situation. Our screens
allow for flexibility that other privacy measures cannot. They allow
the private space to be individually configured to meet the need.
If one screen does not provide enough privacy, two or more can be
used together to build the needed space. Our screens do not block
vision to most mounted monitors,allowing staff to let families have
some privacy while still being able to see the baby's monitor.
Q. What fabric
choices do I have?
A. Any cubicle
curtain fabric will work. All fabric used is Hospital grade fabric
so it meets fire and cleaning standards for institutional use. If
you are working with a decorator, they may specify the fabric. Or,
we can send you fabric samples that you can choose from. Keep in
mind, both sides of the fabric will be seen.
Q. What wood colors/stains
are available?
A. We can
send you the most common stains/colors used. Custom colors may also
be negotiated at additional cost.
Q. What wood colors
do you recommend?
A. You will
probably want to select a wood tone closest to the one already in
your unit. You may want to consider that lighter wood colors don't
show the nicks and scuffs as readily as darker wood tones.
Q. What units
currently use your screens?
A. Our screens are primarily in use in Neonatal units. However
we also have screens in a clinic, a radiology department, and an
emergency room. They work any place where temporary, mobile privacy
is needed.
Q. What woods
can be used?
A. Oak is
the most common wood used and the wood for the list price. Other
woods could be used, but the price may be different depending on
the cost of your wood selection.
Q. When would
I need to provide privacy?
A. Screens
are used to provide 'private time' for families visiting, for breast
feeding mothers, or kangaroo care times with either parent. They
may also be used by staff to 'room off' babies who are undergoing
treatments or procedures such as line placements, circumcisions,
etc. allowing other families in the unit to stay with their baby.
