Privacy screen

The  is a type of medical equipment used for patient privacy. The screen has three vinyl panels joined by a framework of metal and supported by three pairs of cushioned pads. This screen can be folded up and moved to a new location. Privacy screens are used in the Capital Wasteland and Vault-Tec Vaults.

Privacy screens in the Vaults are communally owned and were passed from one generation to the next. The expectation of Vault residents is that the privacy screens will be properly cleaned and maintained to ensure their survivability.
