Updated Products PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 55 | 2oTrimestre08 HexArmor is working continually on updating current products and creating new solutions for the waste and recycling markets. Among these solutions, we find references 6044 and 7080. But if there are problems in the streets, dangers in hospitals are also to be taken into account. Hospitals dispose of thou- sands of contaminated needles every day. Not only do needles end up in the trash, but they often show up in hospital laun- dry. HexArmor’s needle resistant products help prevent workers from getting stuck on the job. The 6044 glove worn under a pathogen barrier gloves is the best solution in these situations. For recycling, HexArmor’s solutions include gloves 7080, 4042 and 4041, and the AG8TW arm guard. -7080 This glove features very high needle resis- tance in palm and fingers and ISEA Level 5 cut resistance in palm and fingers.

Compared to a mesh apron, the great- ly reduced weight of the HexArmor apron is the right ergonomic solution for employ- ees. The HexArmor 8000 solves the pokes/puncture problems from knife tips in both poultry and further processing. When it comes to employee adherence in beef and pork processing, the HexArmor Arm Guards are the answer. They are much lighter weight than a mesh sleeve but still offer a high level of cut and punc- ture resistance. HexArmor solutions for the food process- ing industry include glove 8000, apron AP361 and arm guard AS019S, among others. - AP361 This model offers full coverage protection against abrasion, cut and puncture.
