Protective Arm Sleeves

What do protective arm sleeves do?

Arm sleeves are used as a layer of liquid or chemical barrier protection for the forearm. Protective sleeves can be worn over bare skin, over normal clothing or in conjunction with disposable apparel such as overalls. They are commonly used in applications where dirt and contaminants could compromise the environment and your clothing. Kevlar provides extra protection against abrasions and cuts in a convenient universal size.

According to the National Safety Council, over 5% of workplace injuries involve abrasions, cuts, and punctures to the arms. When working around abrasive material, metal machinery, and exposed wires brushing into these materials with enough force can cause injury. Injuries can be severe in automative manufacturing, metalworking, chemical refinery, and food processing.

Disposable arm sleeves provide light arm protection in lightweight Tyvek 400, polyethylene, polypropylene, or microporous materials. Lightweight polyethylene is useful in food handling and preparation due to its water repellence. Heavier materials found in a Tyvek 400 arm sleeve are suitable for cleanroom and critical environments found in pharmaceutical and semiconductor manufacturing.

How do arm sleeves protect my thin skin from cuts and bruising?

Always consult your doctor for advice if needed as there might be an underlying health condition that has not been addressed. Harmony Lab & Safety Supplies is no stranger to the hazards facing older adults, and we defer to the expertise of your doctor or health care provider.

If you need cut resistance, cut resistant arm sleeves are breathable, reusable, and durable being able to withstand wash cycles on cold and then tumble dried on low. The breathable fabric provides many benefits for older adults such as an added layer of cut safe protection, a secure wrist and convenient elastic form fitting cuffs, and the sleeves can be worn underneath long sleeve shirts that provide UV protection.
