Can I Handle Needles Without Worry?

With this kit you can handle needles without the worry of being punctured. Both the Needle Stick Gloves and Arm Guards use a specially developed material called SuperFabric, which prevents lacerations and slashes from reaching the skin. It is SuperFabric that has made HexArmor a favourite among people who come into contact with needles. 

Furthermore should you want to quickly dispose of needles and sharps, then the Clean-Up Tongs enable you to pick them up in hard to reach places. Easy to use, the clean-up tongs can help to speed up the process of sharps removal across many industries.

The Sharpsmaster Gloves offer the maximum protection possible against abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures, meaning that the gloves can handle most punctures, needles and blade cut hazards. The HexArmor Arm Guards are only resistant to the punctures from needles, and they aren't recommended for use with serrated blades and tools. It is down to the user to assess the suitability of the product as specified for any individual application or use.

• Law enforcement
• Search and rescue
• Waste management
• Doormen
• Airport staff

Does the Sharps Removal Kit Affect My Ability to Handle Small Objects?

As these gloves are designed to be used with needles, they come with a useful amount of dexterity that enables you to pick up small and tricky items from the floor. Their liner features a special blend of plastic, polyester, cotton and latex that is extremely thin when you take into account the level of needle protection on offer. The focus on thinness, flexibility and sensitivity is perfect for grabbing loose needles, or handling recycling and waste.

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.
