{"product_id":"23cm-needle-resistant-sleeve","title":"23cm Needle Resistant Sleeve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sleeve is designed as a protective layer for the forearm, offering defence against needle punctures in demanding environments. It is constructed to maintain flexibility while providing strong resistance to sharp objects, allowing users to move freely without restriction. The material is tested to withstand significant force from fine needles, ensuring reliability in high-risk situations. It is not a glove but a sleeve that extends coverage to the lower arm where gloves may leave gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve protects against punctures from needles and similar sharp implements, particularly those measuring 25 gauge or finer. Testing confirms it resists penetration forces exceeding 150 Newtons under controlled conditions, meeting recognised safety benchmarks. This level of defence helps prevent injury in scenarios where accidental needle contact is a real risk. The protection is derived from a single layer of treated material, ensuring consistent performance without reliance on multiple layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is commonly used by emergency services personnel including police, firefighters, and search and rescue teams during operations involving potential needle exposure. Military personnel also use it in field and training environments where sharp hazards may be present. Additional applications include metal forming, glass handling, recycling operations, and security work where puncture risks exist. The sleeve supports dexterity and comfort, allowing prolonged wear without hindering fine motor tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists puncture forces over 150 Newtons from 25 gauge needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTested as a single layer under independent verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures abrasion resistant coating for extended durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes leather reinforcement in high stress zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maxisafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40953336201345,"sku":"GRS289","price":104.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/4806\/2081\/files\/GRS289.jpg?v=1791347332","url":"https:\/\/www.starsafetysupplies.com.au\/products\/23cm-needle-resistant-sleeve","provider":"Star Safety Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
