Abstract:

The paper raises the issue of antimicrobial copper and its alloys constituting a promising solution for the constantly increasing problem of dangerous hospital-acquired infections. The major aim of the presented work is a precise analysis of antimicrobial copper alloys approved by The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with the Unified Numbering System, taking into account their European and international equivalent symbols as well – CEN and ISO, respectively. The analysis focuses mostly on the copper alloy types which the EPA list is composed of, their prices as well as materials and technological properties.
