Copper and Copper Alloy Products for Hygienic Applications

The first published results from the Selly Oak Copper Clinical Trial, Birmingham, UK, have shown that copper-containing surfaces have 90-100% less microbial contamination on them than controls from standard materials. (See 'Copper for Preventing Microbial Environmental Contamination'.)

Copper and copper alloys are the only solid surfaces to be registered by the US EPA as antimicrobial. (See EPA Registration). This section shows available products and includes products installed in or prototyped for clinical trials. Supplier details are listed.

Copper Development Association and its sister organisations around the world are working with the supply chain to incorporate copper into other healthcare touch-surface products. This catalogue will be updated on an ongoing basis.
