「銅」作為醫療上的用途可追溯 到公元前 2600 年，在埃及被用為胸 部傷口以及飲用水的殺菌之用。直到 抗生素於公元 1932年被發現之後，銅在醫療上作為殺菌的用途才逐漸的減少。但是，現今由於抗藥性細菌在醫療機構環境中廣泛地存在，只要 感染管制措施稍有不足，就可能引起機構內抗藥菌的群突發；而具有新抗菌機轉抗生素的開發進度不如預期，導致醫療人員對於抗藥菌的治療經常力有未逮；因而使得銅的抗菌用途又 再度被拿來研究，冀望「銅」除了在退伍軍人症的預防之外，能具有更加廣泛的抗菌效果。

SuperCu為新綠源國際有限公司與國立臺北科技大學研發團隊通力合作，費時五年用心研究的超穩定銅離子。是具有抑菌，除異味，防黴，驅蟎，等多功能的新型複合功能產品。

 

The use of copper in medicine dates back to 2600 BCE in Egypt, where it was used for sterilizing chest wounds and drinking water. Its use declined after the discovery of antibiotics in 1932. However, due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in medical facilities, copper's antimicrobial properties are being researched again. This renewed interest aims to leverage copper's broad-spectrum antibacterial effects, including preventing Legionnaires' disease.

SuperCu, developed by Green Source International Co., Ltd. and National Taipei University of Technology, is a multi-functional product featuring highly stable copper ions with antibacterial, deodorizing, anti-mold, and mite-repellent properties.
