Yes, I suspect this is the strongest factor. As someone mentions in the comments: there's no patent on copper, hand gel though....

You mean the hand gel that gets rid of the good germs on your hands that protect you from getting sick? Lol.

You would be shocked at how many nurses (especially LPN) do not properly adhere to patient precautions, that's one reason C-diff is rampant in many hospitals.

I wouldn't be surprised. Same reason diabetics are told to continually raise their blood sugars and then use drugs to bring them back under control: $$$. Docs can't be sued if a diabetic has issues from high blood sugars, only low blood sugars. So they keep them high and if your foot falls off or you go blind oh well.
