The D131-TPR Leather Impact Gloves are general-purpose safety gloves designed for light-duty mechanical work, offering a combination of durability, dexterity, and basic impact/cut resistance. They are not medical devices but are relevant in dental lab and maintenance contexts.
Technical Specifications & Material Science: The glove features a goatskin or split leather palm and fingers for durability, grip, and breathability. The back of the hand is made from a breathable nylon liner for comfort and flexibility. Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) is molded over the knuckles and finger joints to provide light impact protection against bumps and abrasions. The palm is coated with an anti-slip polymer (like polyurethane or nitrile dots) to enhance grip on tools and parts. They offer a basic level of cut resistance (likely ANSI Cut Level A1 or similar) from the leather and liner combination.
Industry Standards & Compliance: May comply with ANSI/ISEA 105 for cut and abrasion resistance and EN 388 for mechanical risks. They are not sterile and not for use in patient care.
Application Scenarios: Suitable for dental laboratory technicians handling models, tools, and equipment; clinic maintenance staff for equipment repair; and general warehouse, assembly, and light construction tasks.
Usage Guidelines: Select correct size for fit and dexterity. Inspect before use for tears or excessive wear. These are reusable work gloves meant to be worn until worn out. Clean according to manufacturer instructions (often wiping with a damp cloth; not fully submersible).
Market Value Proposition: For a dental supplier, offering a range of clinic and lab support products like safety gloves can increase order value and serve all the needs of a dental practice. These gloves address the safety requirements of the support staff and lab technicians, a niche but necessary segment within the dental ecosystem. They represent a practical, durable tool for the non-clinical side of the operation.
