How Does Silver Ion Technology Reduce Bacteria?
The silver ion technology incorporated into these antimicrobial gloves eliminates the vast majority of bacteria via the following mechanisms:
- Protein damage: Proteins are essential for the biological systems of life, any damage to these components causes the failure of essential functions such as energy production.
- Cell membrane damage: By disrupting the microbe's membrane, the structural integrity of the microbe is compromised, which can cause catastrophic structural failure.
- Oxidative damage: Antimicrobials can cause increased levels of reactive oxygen species, which can cause damage to the internal systems of the microbe.
- DNA interference: The genetic material of the bacteria is disrupted, stopping the bacteria being able to replicate by blocking the copying of their genetic material.
