Copper clothing tackles bacteria

COPPER CLOTHING develops, manufactures and markets innovative Cu fabrics. The fabrics include cotton bamboo, nylon, rayon, as well as a non-woven copper infused material (disposable).

The materials have been designed to attract bacteria to the fibres of the fabric on the skin side, to be carried through to the outer side of the fabric and rapidly destroyed within a few hours. The non-woven materials cost little more than standard materials and are designed to proliferate wound healing and stop the onset of any skin pathology.

The company’s testing has shown that EMRSA, Klebsiella Pneumonia as well as Candida are rapidly destroyed. Copper infused fabrics have achieved a >6.7 log reduction using a NHS clean gown as a control. 

Cu pyjamas are suitable for the protection of compromised skin or those whom are immunosuppressed, or already have a skin infection.
