What is Antimicrobial Copper?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Antibacterial activity naturally occurs in copper or copper alloys containing more than 60% of copper. It is effective in preventing cross-infection with bacteria and viruses such as Escherichia coli and food poisoning bacteria and is the most powerful non-toxic, human-friendly natural antibacterial material.<\/p>\n

In the United States alone, about 2 million people each year have secondary infections in healthcare facilities, and about 100,000 people die from it.<\/p>\n

Worldwide, infections in this medical institution are causing astronomical socio-economic costs. A clinical trial conducted with the support of the U.S. Department of Defense revealed that patients treated in intensive care units equipped with antimicrobial copper products reduced the probability of cross infections by up to 70%.<\/p>\n

Copper and copper content 60% antimicrobial copper, which is effective in the above copper alloys, is a natural antibacterial property of copper itself, and it eradicates 99.9% of various bacteria that cause healthcare-associated infections within 2 hours, it is excellent in preventing infectious diseases such as cross infections. By actively using these antibacterial coppers in daily life, not only can you lead a hygienic environment and a healthy life, but you can also reduce the socio-economic costs of secondary infection.<\/p>\n
