Join the movement tocontinuously kill bacteria.

Every day we touch hundreds of surfacescontaminated with deadly bacteria andcleaning alone is not enough to eradicate these pathogens. Now there is a new tool to help fight this threat – CuVerro® bactericidal copper alloy surfaces.

These EPA-registered surfacesdramatically improve environmental hygiene by killing 99.9% of bacteria* and continue to be effective 24/7.

CuVerro is the only class of EPA-registered solid surfaces able to make public health claims.

CuVerro begins killing bacteria* on contact; its continuous antibacterial action never wears off or washes away. Unlike coatings andadditives that only slow bacterial growth,CuVerro actively kills disease-causing bacteria.

Where hygiene is a concern CuVerro® creates a new standard for innovative bacteria-fight-ing touch surface product development and flexibility:

Available in strip, sheet, rod, tube, foil or ingot

Easily integrated into production andmanufacturing

Can be deep drawn, extruded, stamped and cut, cast forged, welded, brazed, etched

Offered in several colors including copper-rose and white bronze

Easy to maintain, corrosion andtarnish-resistant

Made from up to 100% recycled contentand 100% recyclable

These attractive, durable, and easy tomaintain surfaces are not harmful to people or the environment, are non-toxic and contain no VOCs, and provide a sustainable antimicrobial advantage.

CuVerro® surfaces are EPA-registered to kill six infectious bacteria*, including those responsible for causing most healthcare-associatedinfections (HAIs):

• Staphylococcus aureus (Staph)

• Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

• Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE)

• E. coli O157:H7

• Pseudomonas aeruginosa

• Enterobacter aerogenes

Proven efficacy in range of EPA tests

These public claims resulted from rigorous Good Laboratory Practices test protocols used to support EPA registration of antimicrobial copper alloys:

1. Efficacy as a Sanitizer – CuVerro® surfaces kill 99.9% of bacteria* within two hours.

2. Wear Test – CuVerro® efficacy does not wear out or wear down over time andcontinues to help inhibit the buildup and growth of bacteria* between routine cleaning and sanitizing steps.

3. Repeated Contamination Test – CuVerro® surfaces work continuously to kill more than 99% bacteria, 24 hours a day, even afterrepeated contamination.

CuVerro outperforms traditional materials

Laboratory tests show CuVerro® is more effective at killing bacteria* than traditional materials like stainless steel, plastic and wood surfaces. CuVerro is a proven medical-grade alternative to these materials.

Grinnell Regional Medical Center puts CuVerro® to work.

Products made with CuVerro® bactericidal copper have been installed in a med-surg unit at Grinnell Regional Medical Center in Grinnell, Iowa.

“We want to see what can be done to reducebacteria that cause HAIs and aid our focus onpatient safety,” – says Todd Linden, GRMCpresident and CEO. “Past impressive studies have shown the effectiveness of CuVerro in reducing bacteria load.”

Building a victoryfor healthcare.

Scientific proof.

Fighting bacteria, including those that cause HAIs is critical in healthcare environments. With doctors, nurses, patients, and families at risk, CuVerro® bactericidal touch surfaces arean effective tool to kill infectious bacteria*and reduce exposure to these deadly pathogens.

Healthcare facilities have started installing products made with CuVerro bactericidal touch surfaces. From door handles and IV poles to grab bars and sinks, CuVerro ishelping these facilities take an aggressive stance in the fight against bacteria* that can cause HAIs.

CuVerro® provides continuously clean surfaces from infectious bacteria* across high-touch surfaces. Products made with CuVerro®

bactericidal copper alloy improve cleanliness in environments from fitness facilities and schools to hotels and even your own home.

Products made with CuVerro® can be easilyinstalled and fit seamlessly in almost any space. These smooth surfaces are durable and easy to clean, but most importantly they actively kill bacteria* when cleaned regularly.

Architects and designers appreciate thesuperior-quality of CuVerro alloys, engineered for strength, durability and aesthetics.

HOK Product Design and RockyMountain Hardware use CuVerro® as part of a new door hardware line.

Where design aesthetics are sometimessacrificed by function and practicality, theventure between HOK Product Design and Rocky Mountain Hardware works to fill this void. With an eye toward healthcare, spa and wellness centers, hospitality and eveneducational institutions, the VerduraTM line of door hardware made with CuVerro® fills the need for hardware that is sleek and stylish, while reducing the amount of infectiousbacteria* on these commonly touch surfaces.

Cleaner touchsurfaces everywhere.

*Laboratory testing shows that, when cleaned regularly, CuVerro surfaces kill greater than 99.9% of the following bacteria within 2 hours of exposure: Methicillin-Resis-tant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli O157:H7, and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococ-cus 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 cur-rent 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.

Cleaning and care.Standard cleaning products and protocols can be used to clean CuVerro surfaces.For remediation, we recommend a citric acid-based cleaner or copper polish. Please visit cuverro.com/support/cleaning for more detailed information.

Stanley Cup Champion LA Kings play with CuVerro®.

The Los Angeles Kings installed Black Iron Strength® dumbbells and attachments made with CuVerro® bactericidal copper alloysurfaces in their newly renovated Toyota Sports Center strength and conditioning facility. As the Stanley Cup Champs the goal was to reduce athletes’ exposure to bacteria and potentially minimize time lost to unnecessary illness.
