MetalSkin® and Copper have been the topics of many studies. Here is a collection of updated data and analysis. A MetalSkin® Review on Copper antimicrobial effect

All bacterias don’t react following the same pattern when exposed to MetalSkin®. These data collected from the test of conformity to the standard NF S90-700 bring interesting knowledge on the bactericidal efficiency of our self-decontaminating surface.  

The standard NF S90-700 sets up a method to measure the basic bactericidal activity of non porous surfaces. Its requisites are that within 1 hour, 2 log of CFU must be killed in standard environmental conditions and this results must be obtained on 4 different bacterias . When tested following this protocol MetalSkin® has obtained an average killing rate of […]

A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in March 2020 shows that copper has a biocidal action on COVID-19 which it eradicates in less than 4 hours. Other scientific sources further state that in the meantime, the virus loses its virulence. The text of this study can be consulted HERE: Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 as […]

A crossover study was carried out by Pr J.P Daurès, epidemiologist and director of the biostatistics of the Montpellier University and M.G Leroy, hygienist and board member of the French Hygienists Society. This study covered 6 bedrooms of a surgery ward, with 7 contact areas per room, over 8 weeks. This study shows that the items coated with MetalSkin® were […]

Jon Otter, from Imperial College of London, is one of the world most famous speakers in infection control. He is also a member of Clean Hospital’s academic committee. We were glad to attend his tremendous talk during the 2016 WEEK OF HEALTH AND INNOVATION about the role of dry surface contamination To take advantage of this conference click HERE: 170226-role-of-dry-surface-contamination_jon-otter_webber-teleclass
