#1 in needlestick protection Protect public safety officials with the best needlestick-resistant gloves on the market

Public safety jobs are some of the most dangerous due to unexpected situations and potential hazards – and they often face an overlooked and prevalent threat while on duty: needlesticks.

A needlestick injury poses an elevated danger due to the risk of infection from bloodborne pathogens (diseases), such as Hepatitis B and C, and HIV , which can be extremely detrimental to your health.

First responders, law enforcement officials, and correctional officers are also highly vulnerable to needlestick threats and the risks that come with them.
