CopperTouch

CopperTouch is a healthcare technology company focused on reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) through the use of antimicrobial copper surfaces. The company manufactures adhesive-backed copper "skins" designed for high-touch surfaces in clinical environments, such as door handles, IV poles, and bed rails. These products utilize the inherent oligodynamic effect of copper to continuously eliminate pathogens, providing a passive layer of protection between manual cleanings. CopperTouch's solutions are intended to supplement standard hygiene protocols and improve patient safety in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The technology is based on research demonstrating that copper surfaces can significantly reduce the microbial load in hospital settings, and the company's products are EPA-registered for durability in high-traffic medical areas.
