What Is a Containment Enclosure?

A containment enclosure is a temporary, sealed structure used in healthcare and other settings to prevent the spread of infectious agents. Typically made of durable plastic sheeting, these enclosures are designed to isolate contaminated areas, such as during patient treatment or in response to an outbreak. They help to control airborne pathogens, limit cross-contamination, and protect both healthcare staff and other individuals from exposure.

Containment enclosures are essential for infection control, ensuring that infectious materials or infected people stay within a controlled environment.

Can Barrier Enclosures Be Used Outside of Healthcare Settings?

Our barrier enclosures are versatile and can be used outside of healthcare settings, particularly in industries like mold remediation and asbestos removal.

Here, we use these enclosures to contain hazardous materials and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleanup and removal processes. Whether it's isolating a mold-infested area or containing asbestos during removal, these infection control enclosures provide a controlled environment to ensure safety and minimize exposure to harmful substances.

Do Temporary Isolation Rooms Need to Be Cleaned?

Temporary isolation rooms must be thoroughly cleaned to maintain safety and prevent the spread of infections. The cleaning process typically includes disinfecting all surfaces, including walls, floors, and equipment, to eliminate any remaining pathogens.

The room’s ventilation system should also be inspected and cleaned to ensure proper airflow, too. All materials used for containment, like plastic sheeting or barriers, must be carefully removed and disposed of, following proper safety protocols.
