Abstract

A curtain is suitable for use in a hospital, patient facilities or surgical setting. The curtain is slideably attached along a ceiling track. A top edge of the curtain may be attached to the ceiling track by a number of pulleys each of which may be utilized to lower the top edge of curtain to a height which is conveniently accessible to someone standing on the floor of the room to remove and/or replace the curtain. In some embodiments of this invention, the curtain has a top portion joined to a bottom portion by a zipper. The pulleys lower the curtain for someone to easily access the zipper to remove, replace and/or attach the bottom portion from/to the top portion. In other embodiments, the pulleys lower the entire curtain for removal and replacement.
