<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1215616, member: 15199&quot;]The problem is that copper and silver has to be in an available active state. Solubility is one thing which enhances the olioodynamic activity of copper and silver. Copper containing paint has been used on hulls of ships ( well until they became a possible water contamination problem for the ocean life) to prevent microbial growth. I imagine the expense of keeping the hospital copper free from corrosion would be a lot of acid baths and hard labor. You can&#039;t put lacquer or wax over it, as the antimicrobial effects would not be on the surface. Also the microorganisms have to be on the copper for a while to be affected. If a patient coughs TB spittle on it, don&#039;t lick it for a very very&nbsp; long time. IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
