ropimex® RTS Swing-Out Telescopic Privacy Screens

The ropimex® RTS Swing-Out telescopic Privacy Screen stands out as a versatile and innovative solution for healthcare environments with little space to spare. Its ingenious design combines functionality and space efficiency with a swing-out telescopic frame. Deployment and storage are easy, and with that comes the additional benefit of reduced trip hazards.

Available in three sizes – RTS 2.1, RTS 1.5, and RTS 1.2 – this adaptable system can accommodate various room layouts and bed configurations. It's constructed from anodized aluminium and fibreglass-reinforced plastics and weighs between 0.5 and 0.7 kg.

The RTS 2.1, the largest in the series, extends from 85 to 210 cm and includes 17 rings, while the compact RTS 1.2 extends from 55cm (21.6”)  to 120 cm (47.2”)  with 10 rings.

ropimex® RTI Telescopic Screens, Fold-Down and Swing-Out

RTS swing-out telescopic screens may not make sense for every healthcare environment. That's where the ropimex® RTI Telescopic Screens come in, offering a fold-down and swing-out solution that's perfect for tight spaces and specialised care areas.

The series offers three models – RTI 2.2, RTI 1.6, and RTI 1.3 – each catering to different spatial needs. The largest, RTI 2.2, extends from 100cm (39.3”)  to 220 cm (86.6”), providing ample coverage for standard hospital beds, while the compact RTI 1.3 (70-130 cm) is perfect for creating privacy in tight corners or around specialised medical equipment.

Crafted from anodized aluminium and fibreglass-reinforced plastics, these screens strike an impressive balance between durability and lightness. Their composition not only ensures longevity in high-traffic medical environments but also facilitates sanitization.

While the ropimex® RTI excels in medical settings, its potential extends beyond. These screens could find innovative applications in small apartments, shared office spaces, or even in educational settings where adaptable privacy solutions are needed. They're compatible with a long list of curtains in the ropimex® catalogue, including TCS 211, TCS 212, TCS 213, VH/C 211, VH/C 212, CQ 211, and CQ 212.

ropimex® FG95 Mobile Privacy Screen

The ropimex® FG95 Mobile Privacy Screen recognizes that flexibility is key in dynamic healthcare environments. The screen system's generous dimensions 95 cm (37.4”)  wide and 165 cm (64.9”)  high provide ample coverage, while a lightweight design (just 7 kg) ensures easy handling. Its frame is made of anodized aluminium for durability and easy disinfection. Caretakers can rely on this product series to be both agile and sturdy.

Its true strength, however, lies in its adaptability. The screen comes equipped with curtain rings compatible with a diverse array of ropimex® curtains engineered to meet rigorous hospital safety standards. Flame-retardant properties and the resilience to withstand frequent sanitization don't have to be a trade-off to aesthetics.

For standard applications, the RTI 2.2 telescopic rod offers an impressive extension range of 100 to 220 cm (39.5" to 86.5"). When situations demand enhanced privacy, the innovative UKB Clamp allows for the addition of a second rod. Users can opt for the compact RTI 1.3 model, extending from 70 to 130 cm (27.5" to 51"), or the mid-range RTI 1.6, which spans 80 to 160 cm (31.5" to 63").
