ArmOR Hand is also reinforced in statistically high-risk injury areas. Additionally, ArmOR Hand offers superior flexibility and dexterity, increasing your ability to properly and safely restrain, decreasing your risk of injury. See the photo below of an injury that occurred through the bulky welding-type gloves.
Additionally, leather gloves can not be washed. It is vital when working with animals to use a glove that can be washed in order to decrease the risk of infectious disease transmission. Our gloves are also made of all synthetic materials: synthetic/vegan materials.
