Antimicrobial Surfaces
The Problem: The Constant Threat of Touch
High-touch surfaces like countertops, bed rails, and door handles are primary vectors for the spread of infection. Manual cleaning, while essential, is only a temporary solution. The moment a surface is touched again, it can become re-contaminated. This creates a constant, invisible risk to both patients and staff, undermining other infection control efforts.
The Solution: Surfaces That Continuously Inactivate Pathogens
Our primary solution involves embedding the natural antimicrobial power of copper directly into materials, providing a surface that works 24/7 to make the environment safer.
- EOScu Solid Surfaces: This is our premier technology for high-touch applications. It is a patented synthetic hard surface material where antimicrobial copper oxide is infused throughout the material itself. This is not a coating or a film. This permanent integration means the surface continuously inactivates harmful bacteria, preventing them from reproducing and spreading.
- Aereus Coated Products: For specific components, we also offer solutions from Aereus, which applies a solid copper alloy to items like bed rails and handles. While effective, our main focus for new builds and renovations is on the integrated EOScu solid surfaces for their durability and seamless integration.
The Prescientx Advantage: A Permanent, Integrated Solution
Any company can sell a temporary spray-on coating. Our focus is different. We provide permanent, "built-in" solutions like EOScu solid surfaces that become part of your facility's infrastructure. This ensures a higher level of quality, durability, and long-term performance.EIP Qualified Personnel required by CSA standards, we provide expert consultation to ensure these advanced materials are specified and integrated correctly into your overall infection control strategy, maximizing their value and ensuring a compliant, effective system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the antimicrobial effect last on EOScu and Aereus surfaces?
The effect is permanent and lasts for the entire life of the product. The antimicrobial copper is physically infused throughout the material, so it does not wear off, wash away, or lose its effectiveness over time.
Can you use standard cleaning chemicals on these surfaces?
Yes. These surfaces are engineered for durability in healthcare settings and are compatible with most standard, non-abrasive hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants. We provide a list of approved products to ensure proper care.
Does the antimicrobial surface have a different look or feel?
The copper-infused surface works continuously to inactivate bacteria. This means it damages the microbes and prevents them from being able to reproduce, which stops their ability to spread and cause infection.
