Introducing New Cut Resistant Sleeves - Defensor by Ronco
CONCORD, Canada, March 7, 2016 (Newswire.com) - A large proportion of workplace accidents are attributed to workers not wearing or taking breaks from wearing their PPE because of discomfort. Made of 13 gauge HPPE (high performance polyethylene), the Defensor™ sleeves have a unique property of dissipating heat and is a solution to overcome discomfort even during prolonged usage. These sleeves are light-weight and soft, yet provide CE Cut Level 5, Abrasion Level 3 and Tear Level 4.
The Defensor™ sleeves are 18” long and come with a thumbhole at the end. This prevents the sleeves from riding up and exposing the forearm to hazard. The sleeves are washable and can withstand up to 10 wash cycles.
As a safe workplace practice, it is recommended that all workers who are carrying sharp objects wear Cut Level 5 gloves and sleeves. In addition, cut resistant sleeves should be worn in all applications where there is a chance of scrapes or scratch injuries to arms.
The Defensor™ sleeves are the latest addition to Ronco’s specialized cut-resistant Defensor™ line.
All Defensor™ products are produced with cutting edge technology, are CE rated as per European standards and are available across North America through a network of authorized distributors.
