Hand and arm protection- HexArmor
Described as suitable for the types of tasks carried out by public-sector workers, HexArmor is a range of safety gloves and arm guards distributed in the UK by Polyco.
Made with SuperFabric, which is said to give protection against needle
and cut hazards, Polyco says the range meets the highest level of cut
resistance.
According to the company, the HexArmor needlestick range significantly reduces the risk of syringe penetration, a major concern for house-clearance and park-maintenance professionals. The layered guard plates of the SuperFabric trap and block needles and other hazards, unlike the fibres of conventional materials, such as leather and nylon, which, Polyco says, can be easily pushed aside by sharps or needles.
Another reported advantage of many HexArmor gloves is that they give full protection to the entire hand, including three-layer coverage on the palm, back of hand and thumb. Some designs also cover the entire forearm.
The gloves come in a pre-curved shape to fit the hand and are available with specialised gripping surfaces on the palm.
