The perfect compliment to your Copper Case. Now shipping.
Copper has been used in medicine for thousands of years. However, we have only recently begun to understand the mechanisms of Copper's natural antipathogenic properties. Modern science has repeatedly demonstrated the efficacy of copper surfaces in killing germs and reducing infection rates. Our technology takes the best of copper's natural properties and re-engineers them for 21st century life.
Copper surfaces are charged with countless copper oxide ions. These ions form a defense network that rapidly attacks invading germs, flooding them with a lethal dose of ions. While there are a variety of mechanisms by which copper can kills germs, this "Trojan Horse" effect, illustrated on the left, is one of the most common.
