- Take a look and see what's actually inside the latest needle resistant PPE. With so many needle resistant gloves on the safety market it can be hard to tell which to trust, and what technology inside the glove is providing the needle resistance.
HexArmor® routinely tests and accredits all safety innovation within our own lab, and via 3rd party testing. A needle injury can be one of the most life-changing events, and worthy of avoiding at all costs with the right hand and arm protection. Check our our testing results regarding some of the latest PPE technology on the market, including metal mesh, aramid and SuperFabric® Brand Material.
As we deconstruct these needle resistant gloves we find narrow flat protection zones, folded metal and uncertain protection zones in the palm. Further, we run this metal technology through our Bally Flex machine. This machine simulates as it counts, flexing fabric similar to grasping and releasing with your palm and fingers. At just 380 flexes we see compromised metal mesh technology, as the sheets of metal fray, shred and bend unevenly. This opens large areas to hazards penetrating directly through to your skin. But equally as dangerous, is what happens when this metal mesh shreds, leaving shavings and shards of metal falling and embedding against the wearers skin. The very technology created to protect you from needle pokes can embed as tiny metal slivers within less than one day of use.
Manufacturers who utilize metal mesh understand it will test well out of the bag before any use, when flat. But after that, users are at extreme and constantly degrading protection levels.
