A new series of slash and needle resistant gloves has been launched by UK-based PPSS Group. All glove models are being made using a cut-resistant fabric known as Cut-Tex PRO.
Offering cut and hypodermic needle resistance, PPSS says that its Slash and Needle Resistant Gloves are suitable for police, prison and security officers, facing hostile and intoxicated members of the public.
Robert Kaiser, CEO of PPSS Group says: “Based on over 50 years of combined operational frontline experience we understand that the majority of injuries found on a police, prison or security officer are to be found around the palm of the hand and forearm. These injuries are classed as ‘defensive wounds’ and can easily lead to irreparable injuries and rapid blood loss.
“Anyone involved with the searching or restraining of potentially aggressive ‘non-compliant’ individuals is at risk of hand injuries. Hidden hypodermic needles, edged weapon or other offensive weapons are all part of today’s society and our key objective is to protect officers from them.”
PPSS Slash Resistant Gloves provide protection to the palm and fingers against all types of cuts, offering EN 388:2003 Blade Cut Resistance Level 5, the highest possible.
All 12 new models are available with EN 388:2003 Puncture/Needle Resistance Level 4, again the highest level possible. Visit www.ppss-group.com.
