摘要：
An anti-microbial covering for use with electronic devices used in a hospital environment is disclosed. A flexible thermoplastic sheet is impregnated during manufacturing with nano-sized sliver particles and wrapped around the electronic device to stop the spread of nosocomial infections. The silver particles vary in shape and size to maximize the anti-microbial effects of each sheet, and each particle is sized to be less than 60 nanometers in diameter. The present invention includes a process for producing each sheet by combining low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, polyphthalamide and other additives with sliver nanoparticles, and then extruding the thermoplastic mixture under heat to form thin impregnated sheets. The liner sheets may then be die-cut to form shaped perforations to facilitate the shaping of each sheet around a targeted electronic device, and cut into convenient sizes for dispensing.
