  • Patent number: 9726550
    Abstract: Digital Thermometer of antimicrobial copper, meant for medical use, consisting externally of the body (1), the battery cover that is the removable part through which the battery is inserted into the thermometer (2), the power button i.e. ON-OFF button (3), the display (4) and the tip, that is the sensor for measuring temperature (5) and is characterized by the fact that the outer surface of these components except of the display, is made of antimicrobial copper, or bears antimicrobial copper. Due to the antimicrobial-bacteriostatic properties of copper and its alloys with antimicrobial properties, it is achieved naturally—without any further interference, i.e. without disinfectants use—the neutralization of pathogenic microbes that infest the thermometer body, therefore it is achieved limitation of their further dispersion.
