Reduce Hospital Bacteria, MRSA, VRE, & E-Coli Midbrook’s Antimicrobial Copper Medical Products
A large percentage of infectious diseases are transmitted by touch. Proper sanitation of touch surfaces and adhering to stringent hand washing rules are some of the most beneficial things a hospital can do to prevent Healthcare Associated Infections. But there is more that can be done.
Introducing Antimicrobial Copper Medical Products to your hospital will also help in the fight against deadly bacteria*. The Antimicrobial Copper actually kills 99.9% of bacteria within two hours of exposure*. Consider Antimicrobial Copper a back-up to protect patients in case the first line of defense – proper sanitation and hand washing – fails.

Copper for Healthcare*Laboratory testing shows, when cleaned regularly, antimicrobial copper alloys kill greater than 99.9 percent of the following bacteria within two hours of exposure: MRSA, Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli O157:H7. Antimicrobial Copper surfaces are a supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices and have been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but do not necessarily prevent cross contamination; users must continue to follow all current infection control practices.
