Why MedWurx Blanket Warmers Use Copper Handles

By MedWurx 7 years ago 1729 Views No comments

With flu season approaching, much attention is on methods to reduce the spread of illness-causing germs. In addition to flu, there are other hospital-acquired infections, or HAIs, that can be spread year-round. HAIs impact 1 out of 20 hospital patients nationwide. These infections can be deadly. In an effort to stop the spread of these infections, many know of the importance of maintaining proper hand hygiene- but implementing more copper surfaces in the hospital environment can also help.

Copper is naturally antimicrobial and copper surfaces continuously kill 99% of bacteria and, when used in the hospital environment, has been shown to reduce the transfer of infection by 58%.

All MedWurx blanket warmers come equipped with CuVerro® Bactericidal Copper Handles. In doing so, we hope to help contribute to improved health outcomes for patients in hospitals that use our product.
