摘要：
An anti-microbial covering for use with electronic devices used in a healthcare environment is disclosed. The covering is impregnated during manufacturing with nano-sized silver 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 covering may be used in a process to disrupt nosocomial infections in a healthcare facility by having employees use the covering to cover electronic devices in the facility. The process includes a method for tailoring the anti-microbial covering to target specific pathogens present in the facility or, alternatively, tailor the covering to target pandemic level threats, such as for example the Covid-19 virus or seasonal influenza viruses.
