Abstract
A curtain is suitable for use in a hospital or patient facilities or in surgical settings. The curtain includes a bottom panel removably attached and suspended from a top panel. The top panel may be suspended from a rail by suspension means such as hooks or rings. The top panel may be a mesh so as to allow air, light, and/or water to pass through. The bottom panel may be opaque to provide privacy. The bottom panel may be single-use or disposable, or may be reusable. The top and bottom panels are joined by a zipper to allow for removal of the bottom panel for washing or replacement. The zipper track has curved portions to allow for easier access to begin the zipping and unzipping process. The curved portions orient the zipper out of the plane of the curtain to allow for easier movement of zipper through the curved portions.
