A small equipment shift that helps solve one of healthcare’s biggest bottlenecks.

In today’s hospitals, room turnover speed can make or break operational efficiency. Discharges are delayed. Emergency departments back up. And in many cases, one surprising source of that delay is hiding in plain sight: fabric privacy curtains.

Rolascreen offers a smarter alternative — helping hospitals flip rooms faster, reduce cleaning delays, and improve throughput without compromising infection control or patient safety.

Why Traditional Curtains Slow Everything Down

Ceiling-mounted privacy curtains may seem harmless, but they create costly friction during turnover:

  • Must be removed and laundered after isolation cases
  • Require additional labor to remove, rehang, and replace
  • Depend on clean backups being available and accessible
  • Add delays to room readiness when laundry is backed up
  • Take up space in both storage and workflow

Each added step introduces risk for delays, especially during high-census periods or infection control events. Multiply those minutes across every bed, every shift — and it adds up fast.

The Rolascreen Advantage

Rolascreen replaces fabric curtains with a non-porous, hospital-grade retractable screen that can be wiped clean in seconds and stored neatly when not in use.

Key benefits include:

  • No laundry cycles: Just disinfect and reset — no wait times.
  • No hardware removal: No ceiling tracks or fabric to manage.
  • No extra storage: Compact design retracts into itself.
  • Faster transitions: Reset a room within minutes, not hours.

It’s privacy and infection control — reimagined for modern healthcare.

A Direct Impact on Patient Flow

The faster a room can be turned over, the faster another patient can be admitted. With Rolascreen in place, hospitals benefit from:

  • Reduced ER boarding times
  • Quicker discharge-to-cleanroom cycles
  • Shorter delays in post-op recovery units
  • Less reliance on laundry or linen services

More efficiency, less downtime, and better use of staff hours.

Designed for Today’s Challenges

Whether you’re facing overflow from the ED, building temporary triage bays, or simply looking to streamline standard inpatient transitions, Rolascreen is built for flexibility and speed. It helps hospitals respond faster — without sacrificing safety or space.
