New Protection from Vibration Arm Trauma

We're pleased to announce the Air GloveTM is now available. This innovative new hand protection product provides personal protection from the hazards of vibration.

For over 100 years since Dr. Alice Hamilton, founder of Occupational Medicine in America, first described the problem, some workers who use vibrating tools have suffered various aliments to their upper extremities, including neurological and vascular damage, tendonitis, cold intolerance and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Impacto's new Air GloveTM utilizes recent developments in thermoplastic bladder technology developed by ErgoAir, Inc. in Las Vegas, NV. Increased protection from vibration arm trauma is provided by placing a thin layer of absorbing air between the worker's hand and the tool. Not only do these gloves meet the new European CEN standard defining the criteria for antivibration gloves, the thin bubble-like surface texture provides for light tactile gripping. Proven protection with a light weight easy gripping product maximizes comfort, insuring worker acceptability and usage.

The new Air GloveTM is available from Impacto products distributors worldwide. For the source nearest you, just send us an email to info@2protect.com.
