HexArmor SharpsMaster HV 7082 Needle Stick Resistant Gloves

Needlestick resistance is not a protection rating you can chance it with. Aside from the physical damage incisions and punctures can do, needles can transfer disease and bloodborne viruses. HexArmor SharpsMaster HV 7082 Needle Stick Resistant Gloves are independently tested and verified as safe for use with 25 gauge hypodermic needles, making them ideal for critical waste handlers and law-enforcement professionals.

HexArmor Needlestick Gloves Protection Ratings

EN 388

• 4X33F

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.

Maximum Level F Cut Resistance RATING

Level F is the highest cut resistance rating available on the market. It indicates that when tested, a glove was capable of withstanding upwards of 30 newtons of downward force applied by a sharp implement before showing signs of breakage.

What DOes a Level F Rating Actually Mean?

In simpler terms, a Level F cut-resistance rating means your hands are protected against blades, machine misfire, serrated edges and incredibly sharp material like sheet metal and knife tips. A Level F rating can literally be the difference between serious, life changing injury and a near miss.

Additional Needlestick Resistance

On top of their incredible cut-resistance rating, HexArmor Needlestick Protection Gloves are independently verified as safe for handling 25 gauge hypodermic needles under ANSI Safety Legislation.

Enhanced SuperFabric Protection System

SuperFabric was developed in 1996 as a solution to punctures, incisions, needles, cuts and slashing. SuperFabric is lightweight and can be layered into a garment to provide bulky or inobtrusive protection depending on the desired application.

Nitrile Coating Benefits

Nitrile is an incredibly flexible coating that provides additional resistance to oil, fuel and chemicals. Nitrile is used as a protective coating in gloves because it matches the pliability of latex with the hazard and injury protection properties of a heavier, woven glove.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
