UTS Group stands to avoid Spreading of Germs
patch for a Cause
There are hundreds of scientific, peer-reviewed studies reporting on the broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy of copper and copper alloys against bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. One of the self-conducted studies with Western University concluded that longer incubations
with copper patches did not produce any additional antiviral activity toward the Delta variant. Untreated and stainless steel controls did not have any significant effects on viral titers.
The antimicrobial properties of copper help maintain a sanitized environment and reduce the spread of infection. The patches, self-sanitizing adhesive copper covers, are registered with Health Canada and the US Environmental Protection Agency and have proven to continuously kill 99.9 percent of bacteria on surfaces.
