Cut-Resistant Gloves;
Safeknit™
The comfortable choice when choosing a high performance cut resistant glove. Safeknit is a blend of abrasion-resistant Spectra® fiber and other synthetics. The mix of these fibers form a rugged cut resistant barrier that offers the histologist sensitivity for manipulation but with extreme comfort and productivity.
Available in two types:
- Heavy Duty- A two strand seamless glove.
- Medium Duty- A single strand seamless glove.
NOTE: These gloves are neither puncture proof nor water resistant. They should not be used to protect against intentional cutting. Avoid use near moving blades. For applications which are related to fluids where a water resistant glove is required, we recommend either double gloving or using Nitrile Gloves, (Cat # 71106-71109.)
