The science behind CuVerro self-sanitizing copper alloys

CuVerro self-sanitizing copper products are a highly versatile way of fighting bacteria.

Science shows that antimicrobial copper kills bacteria with a multifaceted attack.

The outer membrane of bacteria cells rupture when they come in contact with antimicrobial copper surfaces, leading to cell death.

The copper ions impede cell respiration, causing DNA damage, making it unlikely that bacteria will develop a resistance to copper.

 

The CuVerro self-sanitizing copper alloy that we use on all our products is approved by Health Canada (PMRA Approved).

Laboratory testing shows that, when cleaned regularly, CuVerro® antimicrobial copper surfaces kill greater than 99.9% of bacteria within 2 hours of exposure.
