Copper Door Handles shown to reduce harmful micro-organisms by up to 95%

Recent studies have shown that surfaces made with materials containing copper kill a wide range of potentially harmful micro-organisms - significantly reducing the number of these organisms that can come into contact with patients, visitors and staff.

A study carried out at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham has shown that surfaces made with materials that contain copper kill a wide range of potentially harmful micro-organisms – significantly reducing the number of these organisms that can come into contact with patients, visitors and staff.

The study found that, when tested, items made from copper had up to 95 per cent fewer micro-organisms on them, compared with the same items made out of standard materials such as stainless steel.

The study, begun in March last year, was led by Professor Tom Elliott, a Consultant Microbiologist and Deputy Medical Director at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Selly Oak Hospital.

Specifically developed as a result of research conducted at Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham. The 700 series of DDA compliant handles are available in a range of diameters and centres allowing you to replace your current handles hassle free.
