10 Reasons Why ArmOR Hand Gloves Need to Be in Your Veterinary Clinic

You’re busy non-stop in the clinic, so why waste any time or energy worrying about the safety of your technicians? That’s where the ArmOR Hand Glove comes in. If you’re wondering why countless professionals rave about these gloves, relying on them every single day for protection, check out the top ten reasons why ArmOR Hand Gloves are perfect for your clinic:

1. They’re Bite Resistant Gloves, Earning the Highest Score for Puncture Resistance

The ArmOR Hand Glove was put through a rigorous puncture resistance test developed by the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The only test relied upon nationally, the ANSI/ISEA puncture test determines the puncture resistance of animal handling gloves on a scale of 0-5, 5 being the most resistant. ArmOR Hand Gloves earned a 5 on this scale. In fact, puncturing these gloves actually required more force than the force needed to earn a score of 5. This means your technicians can rest easy knowing they’re using high-quality and bite-resistant gloves. 

2. They’re the Only Veterinary-Designed and Developed Animal Handling Glove

Pulling from her experience as a veterinarian, Dr. Catena designed a bite and scratch-resistant glove that has the veterinary professional in mind. The glove is reinforced in areas of the hand that are statistically at high-risk of injury during veterinary visits, protecting the hand without limiting dexterity.

3. They’re Extremely Versatile

This unique glove comes in two styles. While The Original Animal Handling Glove has protection on all fingers, The Procedure-Palpation Glove has the first three fingertips exposed for fine motor control. Allowing for maximum dexterity, this glove will help your technicians administer vaccines, trim toenails, clean ears, and perform any task that could be difficult when wearing other gloves. 

4. They Help Decrease Disease Transmission

ArmOR Hand Gloves can easily be machine washed or wiped clean. After hundreds of cycles in the washing machine, no customers have complained about a deterioration in glove quality. This feature is essential for protective equipment, as a product that is easy to clean will help to decrease the risk of spreading disease.
