TurtleSkin Needlestick Gloves

Materials used in the TurtleSkin® range offer the highest possible protection available from the fabrics used. The TurtleSkin® range is designed for personal safety in and around the workplace. The high protection nature of the gloves means that personal protection offered is of the highest standard without compromising on the movement and comfort of the wearer. All Turtleskin needlestick or needle resistant gloves and sleeve guards are made from a special patented fabric. The TurtleSkin patented fabric has the closest weave of Aramid fibres ever achieved, which means the highest protection from puncture and cuts is given at all times, making TurtleSkin essential PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

Needlestick or needle resistant gloves are essential PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for any persons handling, or coming into close proximity to sharps and potential puncture threats. Sharps are especially dangerous as needles can carry viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis, and if the skin is punctured you could potentially contract those viruses. The needlestick or needle resistant gloves range covers all areas of threats including punctures, tears, abrasion and even cuts by knife blades. All of these qualities are essential in providing the utmost protection from a needlestick or needle resistant glove. There are many areas where the tasks performed require PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and specifically needlestick or needle resistant gloves such as; stop and search personnel, sharps disposal and biological waste disposal where there is a high risk of coming into contact with contamination and sharp items.

As well as providing hands with the protection of Needlestick gloves, TurtleSkin Sleeves are a must where needle resistant PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is specified. TurtleSkin Sleeves are made from the same patented materials as the gloves range so provide the same level of high protection. There are two types of TurtleSkin Sleeves: TurtleSkin Sleeve which covers the entire forearm providing unrivalled arm protection and the TurtleSkin Sleeve Plus that has an additional cover that runs over the top of the hand giving the wearer that extra protection. The TurtleSkin Sleeves are especially designed to give the wearer arm protection for personnel working with hazards: such as frontline security personnel, metal workers who require protection against sheet metal edges and even vets requiring defence preventing animals biting their arm during a consultation.
