Why Every Hospital Needs Air Curtains at OPD Entrances

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) affect millions of patients annually in India. A significant transmission vector? Open entrances that allow dust, pollutants, and airborne pathogens into clinical areas.

The Problem with Open Hospital Doors

OPD entrances see hundreds of people passing through every hour. Revolving doors restrict wheelchair access. Automatic sliding doors create gaps. Traditional doors are touched by every visitor — a hygiene nightmare.

How Air Curtains Help

AERSTER SILENT+ air curtains create a continuous, invisible air barrier that:

• Blocks 95% of airborne dust and pollutants
• Prevents insects from entering clinical areas
• Maintains positive pressure in sterile zones
• Operates at under 50 dB — safe for patient areas

NABH & CGHS Compliance

Air curtains are increasingly recommended in NABH accreditation guidelines for infection control. Several CGHS-empanelled hospitals now mandate them at all patient-facing entrances.

Recommended Models

For hospital OPDs, we recommend the AERSTER SILENT+ range (3ft to 6ft) with HEPA-grade filtration. For emergency entrances with wider openings, the AERSTER GUARD series provides stronger airflow.
