Copper disinfection in hospital




by Christophe » 07/11/08, 13:18

It just went to the FR2 News: the Birmingham hospital saw its germs decrease from 90 to 95% after replacing various equipment with ... copper (or brass from what I saw on the video)...

What makes me smile is that we pretend that it is a fabulous discovery while it is known that the Egyptians were already using 3000 copper as a disinfectant ... I do not remember who gave the info on forums at the time.

Copper is also used to disinfect swimming pools: https://www.econologie.com/forums/piscine-sa ... t5668.html

He has been talking about it for a long time, I think.

I do not know if it was the same hospital but I had already seen it at least two years ago it seems to me.

In its difficult times, it is a first class info, would that mean that we could effectively disinfect a wound by introducing - posing - (in the bleeding phase) a copper tube?
Disinfected beforehand with a neutral agent ....
And of course without a trace of verdigris
If there is a doctor in the room .... 8)

Ding, Dang, Dong!

Yes this delay probably corresponds between the beginning and the end of the clinical study ...

Lietseu: still not push ... it limits the dispersion of bacterial agents but it's still not such a powerful disinfectant ...

Yes, two nasty beasts these two there : Mrgreen:

I do not see where it is difficult to think a little further ... : Cheesy:
so, supposition mode
you have nothing else under your hand but a piece of copper, you cut yourself with your ax in the knurling wheel, but the wound is not deep, it would help to put the copper pipe on the wound ???
supposition off mode
