MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this announcement? What are the benefits of CuVerro copper alloys?

Response: The NCAA Basketball Champion Villanova Wildcats have installed Black Iron Strength dumbbells and attachments made with CuVerro bactericidal copper in their training facilities as a way to promote greater hygiene and help kill bacteria that cause infections.

The gripping surfaces of Black Iron Strength dumbbells and attachments are made of EPA-registered CuVerro bactericidal copper.  CuVerro copper surfaces begin killing bacteria on contact, and continuously kill greater than 99% of bacteria within two hours of exposure.  It works 24/7 and won’t wash out or wear away.  Copper surfaces like those used by Black Iron Strength are gaining attention among owners and operators of athletic facilities and health and fitness clubs around the country for their hygienic properties.  CuVerro bactericidal copper is also increasingly being used in healthcare and other industries to fight infection-causing bacteria, as cited in recent articles published in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal.

MedicalResearch.com: What types of infections may be minimized by using Black Iron Strength® products?

Response: Laboratory studies conducted under EPA-approved protocols have proven that, within two hours of contact, bactericidal copper kills greater than 99.9% of disease-causing bacteria like Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report?

Response: Most effective cleaning and infection control programs combined proven practices such as routine disinfection and good hand hygiene.

CuVerro bactericidal copper compliments and enhances any such program by providing a surface that continuously kills infectious bacteria 24/7.
