Corrections and Law Enforcement Officers. Rugged Performance on Demand
TurtleSkin Duty Plus Gloves are designed for vehicle searches, pat downs, and many tasks performed by Corrections and Law Enforcement Officers that require great grip, dexterity, tactile sensitvity, and above all cut resistance and puncture resistance against hypodenmic needle sticks. Duty Gloves are lined with cut resistant and puncture resistant TurtleSkin SPORT, the Duty Gloves cut and puncture performance is surpassed only by TurtleSkin Search Gloves.
Duty Glove Description Ideal for handling glass, wood, plastic, masonry, and metal. Larger gauge needle protection. Cut resistance, Comfortable, leather-textile design. Palm coverage with fingertip wrap. Abrasion Resistant and are the only washable Duty Glove with these features.
Duty Gloves Puncture Protection No glove is puncture proof, but TurtleSkin Offers the highest puncture resistance ever achieved in a lightweight, flexible fabric. These search gloves can resist the puncture of a .05 inch needle under several pounds of pressure, giving you more reaction time to pull away from sharp objects. To evaluate puncture resistance, we use Series IX Automated materials Testing System made by Instron per the modified standard EN344. This measures the pounds of force it takes a .05 inch solid steel needle to puncture a material by .03 inches, traveling at a constant rate of .395 inch per minute.
Duty Gloves Cut Protection Although no glove is ever truly cut-proof, TurtleSkin's outstanding cut resistance far surpasses any other lightweight, flexible material on the market. The American Society for Testing and Materials has collaborated with the industry to develop the Cut Protection Performance (CPP) Test, ASTM F-1790-97 using a razor blade to cut through a fabric while sliding a distance of one inch. The average force it takes to sever the material is its CPP. TurtleSkin offers nearly 5 times the cut resistance of standard aramid lined gloves and over 25 times that of cowhide leather gloves. measuring only .017 of an inch thick, only TurtleSkin Duty Gloves offers the cut performance and dexterity needed in critical situations.
Duty Gloves Abrasion Resistance Wear-life is one of the key components customers weigh as they judge the quality of a glove. According to the ASTMD3884 method, TurtleSkin Duty Gloves will resist abrasion 11 times longer than cowhide and over 40 times longer than aramid knit of equal thickness. The American Society for Testing and Materials measures abrasion on a Taber machine by the number of cycles and abrasive wheel makes until it has worn through the material. TurtleSkin's ability to excel at this rigorous test means it can hold up to some of the harshest environments. And it is the only flexible glove material that also provides superior performance in cut and puncture with a comfortable fit.
Comfort as Well as HIV Protection
TurtleSkin Duty Gloves provide excellent comfort as well as six times more puncture protection in the palm against 28 gauge hypodermic needles (a type of needle that addicts use, and that can carry the HIV virus). The TurtleSkin fabric in the palm feels soft, yet protects your hand from potentially life-threatening punctures and cuts.
This glove delivers the finest protection from HIV, hepatitis C, and other diseases that can be transmitted from needlesticks, jabs, and other unforeseen accidents while in the line of duty.
