Objective, Evidence-based Research Supports Using Cuverro V Antibacterial Copper Hardware as part of a comprehensive infection prevention protocol

Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI’s) affect two million people every year, resulting in more than 90,000 deaths in the United States.

HAI’s are the FOURTH LEADING CAUSE of death in the United States, after cancer, heart attacks and strokes, and the CDC estimates that the cost of these infections is between $35-45 billion per year.

Antibacterial Copper is superior to alternative touch surface materials in all respects.

Proven efficacy as an antibacterial – far more effective than stainless steel or silver-containing coatings

Proven to continuously kill the bacteria* that cause infections

The only class of solid antibacterial touch surface approved by EPA and permitted to make human health claims

Continuous and ongoing antibacterial* action

Remains effective even after repeated wet & dry abrasion and re-contamination

Natural tarnishing does not impair efficacy

Not harmful to people or the environment

Inherently antibacterial, with no added chemicals

Completely recyclable

Antibacterial efficacy will NEVER wear away

Given that the transmission of healthcare-acquired pathogens is related to the contamination of surfaces and equipment near the patient, the use of antibacterial copper hardware for every item meant to be touched makes common sense – research shows that 80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by touch.

*Testing demonstrates effective antibacterial activity against: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli O157:H

All of our products share one common attribute: by definition, they are designed for use by human hands, so the risk of touch transfer contamination is great.

Here are just a few of the applications for our American-made products

Bedside and examination room casegoods

Caregiver station doors and drawers

Towel Bars

Door handles

Instrument knobs, levers and handles
