ZipQuick® SD Sound Dampening Hospital Curtain
The ZipQuick® SD is a sound-dampening hospital privacy curtain that adds acoustic quiet to the quick-change ZipQuick® system. Made in the USA by KEMTEX ®, it keeps the under-60-second, no-ladder change of the Original and adds an acoustical fabric lining that reduces sound travel between bays, along with ambient sound and light, so conversations stay confidential and patients rest better. The SD panel is 72 inches and the extended SD+ is 78 inches, both hanging just 4 inches off the floor to further reduce auditory bleed-through.

Silence is golden. And now with the ZipQuick® SD Curtain it’s available in 60 seconds.
Most hospital privacy curtains only do half the job. A privacy curtain isn’t truly private if the entire unit can hear your conversation. Help maintain patient confidentiality with the ZipQuick® SD/ SD+ - Sound-Dampening Privacy Curtain from KEMTEX ®. The same revolutionary design that can be changed out in under 60 seconds is now available in a Patent-Pending sound dampening model.
Retaining all the features of the Original ZipQuick® curtain, the ZipQuick® SD/ SD+ comes with an acoustical sound-dampening fabric lining. Additionally, the ZipQuick® SD Panel is 6 inches longer and the SD+ (uses a Mesh that is 6” Shorter) is 12 inches longer (Both Curtains hanging a mere 4 inches off the floor), further reducing the amount of auditory bleed-through.
SD: 72” Fabric Panel hangs 4” off the floor / Zipper Height – 76”
SD+: 78” Fabric Panel hangs 4” off the floor / Zipper Height – 82”

How sound-dampening curtains work
The SD keeps everything the Original offers and adds an acoustical sound-dampening fabric lining that reduces sound travel between bays, along with ambient sound and light. Two things drive the effect: the lining itself, and length. The SD panel is longer than a standard curtain and the SD+ is longer still, and both hang just 4 inches off the floor, which closes the gap that lets conversations bleed between bays. The SD shares the Standard Mesh header with the Original, so you can run Original and SD panels on the same mesh.
When to use sound-dampening curtains
Sound-dampening curtains are the right fit wherever privacy means quiet, not just a visual barrier: behavioral and mental-health units, private and consultation or exam rooms, ICU and step-down, and maternity and postpartum. In these settings a curtain that lets the whole bay overhear a conversation is not truly private. For help matching lines to units, see how to choose the right curtain system.

What is the ZipQuick® SD sound-dampening curtain?
The ZipQuick® SD is a sound-dampening hospital privacy curtain made in the USA by KEMTEX®. It keeps the under-60-second quick-change design of the Original and adds an acoustical fabric lining that reduces sound travel, supporting patient confidentiality and a quieter environment.
What is the difference between SD and SD+?
Both add the acoustical lining. The SD panel is 6 inches longer than the Original (72 inches), and the SD+ is 12 inches longer (78 inches) using a mesh that is 6 inches shorter. Both hang just 4 inches off the floor to further reduce auditory bleed-through, and the SD+ provides the most coverage.
Which units benefit most from sound-dampening curtains?
They are ideal for behavioral and mental-health units, private and consultation or exam rooms, ICU and step-down, and maternity and postpartum, anywhere confidentiality and rest are part of the care.
Are SD curtains reusable, and do they fit existing tracks?
Yes. The SD is a reusable, washable fabric curtain and is compatible with standard curtain tracks and carriers. It also shares the Standard Mesh header with the Original, so you can swap Original and SD panels on the same mesh.
How much longer are SD curtains, and why?
The SD panel is 6 inches longer than the Original and the SD+ is 12 inches longer, and both hang only 4 inches off the floor. The extra length and lower hang reduce the gap that lets sound bleed between bays, which improves privacy.
