Kevlar Gloves Protect From Animal Bites
When you work with animals, protecting your hands is a high priority. Unfortunately, most gloves today aren’t a match for bites and scratches. Veterinarian Laura Catena designed new ArmOR Hand gloves after suffering a potentially career-ending injury at work.
“A cat bit my left thumb, and I had extensive surgery and months of physical therapy to regain the use of my hand,” she says. “Because of the pain and expense that I endured, I wanted to protect other animal caregivers from the trauma of animal bites and scratches.”
The resulting gloves are available in five sizes to ensure a proper fit for every user. They are specifically designed to address the needs of those who work closely with animals.
“ArmOR Hand gloves are made of the strongest stretch materials on the planet, including a double-knit layer of DuPont Kevlar,” says Dr. Catena. “The flexibility and dexterity of the gloves are amazing; they are not bulky at all.”
Each pair has full hand and forearm coverage, and they are machine washable. As Dr. Catena explains, this is a necessary feature for anyone who works with animals because it decreases the risk of infectious disease transmission.
The gloves are designed for anyone who works with animals, including veterinarians, farmers, zoo employees, groomers, animal control employees, and hunters and trappers. Buyers can choose between two designs - one that offers full finger coverage like traditional gloves, and another that leaves your thumb and first two fingers exposed. This allows for better dexterity and easier access for trimming nails, palpation, administering injections, applying ear medications and other animal care tasks. The gloves sell for $148.
