Abstract
A device with microbiocidal or microbiostatic properties that is provided with a device body that contains a first external surface and a second external surface that resides opposite the first external surface. The device is further provided with an at least one antimicrobial metal component in electrical relationship to said first external surface and said second external surface.
Claims21
A device with microbiocidal or microbiostatic properties, comprising:
- a device body that contains a first external surface and a second external surface that resides opposite said first external surface, and
- an at least one antimicrobial metal component in electrical relationship to said first external surface and said second external surface.
A method for creating a microbiocidal or microbiostatic environment against one or more microorganisms, comprising:
- providing a device body with an at least one antimicrobial metal component on, within or on and within said device body, and
- wherein said plurality of antimicrobial metal components comprise of at least two different antimicrobial metals, and
- applying an electrical current to said plurality of antimicrobial metal component to generate Reactive Oxygen Species or Reactive Chlorinated Species that possess antimicrobial properties.
