What are chain mail gloves? We find out together

Today we will talk about what is mail gloves, how and where they are applied. In addition, information will be provided on the materials from which this attribute is performed, and the protection levels are classified.

Where are they used?

Chain gloves are designed specifically to protect the hands from possible punctures and cuts in a wide variety of activities. For example, this attribute is actively used at poultry farms, in the automotive, food, paper, chemical and many other industries. After all, it is in these areas that an employee, in the course of his work, can easily injure or severely cut his hands.

It is also worth noting that chain mail gloves are no less popular manufacturing. This is due to the fact that during the operation, the specialist doctor can easily injure himself with various tools, through which his immediate activities are carried out. In this case, surgical gloves are designed to protect medical personnel from possible infection with any infection that can enter the body of a hospital employee as a result of an accidental puncture or cut of hands. By the way, after the invention of such a medical attribute around the world, the mortality of surgeons has been significantly reduced, due to the infection of many life-threatening diseases.

What are they made of?

Chain gloves are made of a material that is resistant to punctures and cuts. Typically, such a special barrier layer is placed between the skin of the hands and the immediate surface of the glove. The material from which these attributes are made can be different. As a rule, they consist or several layers, greatly enhancing the protection against possible cuts. Among such coatings, you can especially highlight heavy-duty polymer fabrics, fiber optic material, and stainless steel. But often chain mail gloves are made from Kevlar and the spectrum.

It should also be noted that the size of the protective layer of such elements of professional clothing depends on where they will be used in the future. In other words, the thicker the chain mail gloves, the more effectively they cope with their immediate task.

Properties and protection levels

It is worth noting that in chain mail medical gloves the protective layer is much thinner than in the production ones. And this is due to the fact that during the surgical operation it is extremely important to maintain a high level of sensitivity of the hands. In this case, the gloves should completely encircle the fingers and palms, without slipping. The doctor, wearing them, is obliged to feel any medical instrument, and also to hold it tightly. Due to the fact that this attribute is not heavy, his hands do not get tired for a very long time. Quite often medical gloves are covered with additional protective layers (for example, anti-slip, protect from needle pricks, etc.).

At present, there are certain standards for the stability of certain materials to puncture and cuts. In this classification there are exactly 5 levels of protection:

• 1st level> 200 g;
• 2nd level> 500 g;
• 3rd level> 1000 g;
• 4th level> 1500 g;
• 5th level> 3500
