The Portwest A793 needle-resistant work glove offers the ultimate hand protection for professionals working in high-risk environments. This specialist glove is specifically designed for tasks where you may be exposed to sharp objects, glass, and medical waste. Thanks to innovative materials, this model combines extremely high mechanical resistance with the necessary flexibility, allowing you to continue working safely and accurately during heavy-duty tasks.
For which specific tasks is this needle-resistant work glove most suitable?
This glove is ideally suited for waste management, recycling, cleaning services, and police or customs work where the risk of contact with hypodermic needles or glass shards is significant.
The palm offers certified protection against needles and sharp materials. This makes the model indispensable in sectors where employees manually sort waste or inspect public spaces. The glove prevents dangerous, sharp objects from penetrating the skin, significantly reducing the chance of infection and serious injury.
What do the ASTM F2878 and EN 388 standards mean for this safety glove?
The ASTM F2878 Level 5 standard indicates that the palm has achieved the highest test class for resistance against hypodermic needles. The EN 388: 2016 + A1: 2018 score of 3X44F also confirms the highest level of cut resistance, namely class F.
This means the glove is resistant to extreme cutting forces and heavy mechanical loads. Unlike standard work gloves, this model provides maximum physical barrier protection through its steel mesh reinforcement and 10-gauge liner.
The crinkle latex grip coating guarantees excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The ergonomic fit ensures optimal comfort during prolonged wear.
