Brass Age, which will co-exhibit on the Antimicrobial Copper stand, will unveil ‘a new brand’ of touch surface products, VETOBAC, that ‘exploits the continuous and inherent antimicrobial properties of copper alloys’.
The company said: “Copper alloy touch surfaces quickly and effectively kill microbes that cause healthcare- associated infections, and can yield payback in under a year. The VETOBAC mission is to create national and global awareness of the long-term cost advantages of infection control through the use of VETOBAC products as an approved and certified copper touch surface option.”
Working closely with the Copper Development Association, Brass Age identifies the main touch surfaces in any environment susceptible to contamination or infection, and then helps clients establish a cost-effective means of implementing ‘a complete copper alloy touch surface fit-out’. The company manufactures products ranging from copper alloy handrails and grab rails, to bed rails and other furniture accessories.
