Copper kills bacteria on contact. It is one of the few materials that does, which is why hospitals put it on door handles and bed rails. The catch is that almost every copper product sold is coated in lacquer to keep it shiny — and the coating stops the copper from ever touching anything.
StayWell leaves the copper bare. It will darken with use, which is what copper does and is precisely the sign it is working. Their testing reports a 99.9% reduction in surface bacteria within two hours of contact.
Made in the USA — StayWell Copper is a woman-owned company using 99.94% recycled American copper, assembled by US veterans.
