HYGI-PRODUCTS VS STAINLESS STEEL

Copper outperforms any other material in antimicrobial performance

• Silver used in certain antimicrobial coatings, cannot kill MRSA on dry touch surfaces
• Stainless steel has no inherent antimicrobial properties and can harbour deadly bacteria & viruses for days

• HYGI-Metal exceeds the strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion of stainless steel

COST EFFECTIVENESS 

Beneficial care & cost implications in Health-Care settings

York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC)- reported a short payback time and significant ongoing savings from upgrading key touch surfaces such as handrails.

​

They modelled that, using UK data, antimicrobial copper replacements of six key, frequently touched surfaces in a 20-bed ICU would be repaid within 2 months. This was based on having fewer hospital acquired infections, resulting in shorter lengths of stay.

​

Dr Matthew Taylor (YHEC's Director & Paper Author) "After two months, ongoing cost savings will accrue from the reduction in blocked beds and better-directed staff resources."
