DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF COPPER YARN

Copper, like the elements silver and gold, can kill many pathogens. In some forms, it releases an electron that can be highly destructive to bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

How does copper kill germs?

Copper ions are able to:

• Destroy the cell membrane
• When they are inside a cell, copper ions bind to DNA and prevent its from replicating
• Destroy RNA (key for viruses)

Depending on the type of surface and various factors such as temperature and humidity, pure copper and copper-containing compounds exhibit these destruction mechanisms differently. Therefore, some bacteria and viruses can survive for hours on a copper alloy, but be killed in minutes on textiles that contain a copper compound.

Copper yarn in clothing is extremely useful and the effect of its use has been laboratory tested and clinically proven.

In 2008 The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has certified copper as the only antimicrobial metal. It is effective against nine types of bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella.

Medivaric, in its constant search for innovation, markets products with copper yarn, as an ally in this endeavor is the American company Cupron. Established in 2000, it focuses on how the unique properties of copper technology can be incorporated into textiles, polymers and other types of products that can help solve a variety of health-related problems.

The quality of the company's copper yarn is proven in the certificates issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The use of Cupron technology in various products provides protection against odors, mites, fungi and bacteria.

Importance of copper in the composition of stockings

The use of copper yarn in compression stockings and stockings for diabetic foot or sensitive feet is very helpful and are an alternative for patients with wounds that do not heal naturally.

Research results of patients suffering from various foot conditions (including athlete's foot) wearing stockings with copper yarn show improvement or elimination of symptoms such as: itching, bad odors, peeling, redness, skin cracking, rashes, etc.

Benefits of Copper Yarn Fabrics:

1. They reduce inflammation and accelerate healing, especially in the treatment of varicose veins, after surgery, arthritis, etc.

2. The copper ions released from the tissue in contact with the skin help to restore collagen fibers, making the skin look healthy and beautiful

3. It has relaxing properties

4. Eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites on contact

5. Helps heal diabetic wounds
