Fixtures, Sinks & Hand Wash Stations Produced with... CuVerro® Antimicrobial Copper Surfaces to MAXIMIZE Healing Environments!
Antimicrobial copper surfaces kill pathogens* within 2 hours of exposure and continue to kill bacteria 24/7 to maintain healthy environments!
Antimicrobial Copper touch surfaces
kill the microbes that cause
infections where they
lie.
CuVerro® Antimicrobial Copper-Nickel Alloy
Surfaces kill more than 99.9% of bacteria*
within 2 hours, and deliver continuous and
ongoing antibacterial action.
EPA registered copper alloys are the only
solid surface materials that can make this
claim!

Antimicrobial Defense
Solid defense against harmful microbes. No other solid surface is proven to be more effective in continuously killing bacteria that cause infections. CuVerro® antimicrobial copper has an inherent ability to kill bacteria, unlike other solid surface materials like formica, wood, or plastic. Copper is the only active, bacteria-killing ingredient in CuVerro alloys. CuVerro's EPA-registered surfaces, begin killing pathogens* on contact, killing 99.9% within two hours, and keep on killing 24/7.

The
Mission
Just has been a leading manufacturer of hospital fixtures. We now provide health care products that help kill bacteria* which cause infection, while advancing cleanliness and compliance. Our product made with antimicrobial copper surfaces enhance current infection control practices while helping to ensure maximum effectiveness. Our products contain antimicrobial copper, the world's most effective antimicrobial solid touch surface material that kills 99.9% of bacteria*.

Additional Information
CuVerro antimicrobial alloys are made from up to 100% recycled copper material and are 100% recyclable. In fact, nearly all of the copper mined to date is still in circulation because the recycling rate of copper is higher than that of any other engineering metal.
The bactericidal properties of copper are inherent, so no additives are required. For healthcare environments, especially, copper provides the assurance of no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), PVC (poly vinyl chlorides), phthalates or other pollutants that can adversely impact air quality. In keeping with the environmentally friendly properties of copper, no sealants, glue, or adhesives are used in the manufacturing processes of CuVerro antimicrobial alloys. Add this sustainability to CuVerro antimicrobial properties and flexibility and you have advantages that are truly unmatched for sinks, fixtures and hand wash stations produced with CuVerro Antimicrobial Copper Surfaces. More public and health care environments supplement current infection and disease control practices with antimicrobial copper, antibacterial products, hospital sinks, hand wash sinks and scrub sinks! Copper has played a role in Green Building, and has been one of the materials of choice for energy efficiency and sustainability, and a mainstay in solar, wind and wave renewable energy systems. The EPA has evaluated the acute toxicity of copper and found there to be “no risk to public health.” Since early human existence, copper has been an essential material in many applications. One of the most frustrating problems facing hospital infection control is how to prevent health care-acquired infections. Exposure to organisms often found in hospital environments, such as intensive care unit (ICU) rooms, can result in additional illness and sometimes death for people who come into contact with these "bugs" as many infectious diseases are transferred by touch. Fixtures and Sinks produced with CuVerro Antimicrobial Copper Nickel surfaces are attractive, safe to use and the benefits never wear or wash away. Extensive laboratory testing has shown that when cleaned regularly, sinks and other products made from Antimicrobial Copper:
Kills greater than 99.9% of bacteria* within 2 hours, and continues to kill 99% of bacteria* even after repeated contamination.
Delivers continuous and ongoing antibacterial* action, remaining effective in killing greater than 99.9% of bacteria* within 2 hours.
Helps inhibit buildup and growth of bacteria* within 2 hours of exposure between routine cleaning and sanitizing steps.
Kills greater than 99.9% of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria* within 2 hours of exposure.
Continuously reduces bacterial* contamination, achieving 99.9% reduction within 2 hours of exposu
*Laboratory testing shows that, when cleaned
regularly, CuVerro surfaces kill greater than
99.9% of the following bacteria within 2 hours
of exposure: Methicillin-Resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus
aureus, Entrerobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, E. coli O157:H7, and
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis
(VRE).
The use of CuVerro® bactericidal copper
products is a supplement to and not a
substitute for standard infection control
practices; users must continue to follow all
current infection control practices, including
those practices related to cleaning and
disinfection of environmental surfaces. This
surface has been shown to reduce microbial
contamination, but it does not necessarily
prevent cross contamination.
These surfaces have been shown to kill
microbial contamination. It kills more than
99.9% of bacteria within two hours, and
continuously delivers antibacterial** action
between cleanings. EPA registered copper alloys
are the only solid surface materials that can
make this claim. CuVerro’s continuous
antibacterial action never wears or washes
away.
Antimicrobial Copper is the only solid surface
material registered by the U.S. EPA to
continuously kill bacteria* that pose a threat
to human health. No other solid touch surface,
including silver-containing coatings, has this
kind of registration.
