Mullingar hospital uses copper handles to fight superbugs
12/01/2010 - 08:51:56A midlands hospital is introducing copper door handles in a bid to reduce the spread of superbugs.
The 140-bed St Francis Private Hospital in Mullingar says such surfaces can help prevent microbial contamination.
MRSA and C-diff are understood to die much more quickly when they come into contact with copper-based surfaces.
