Cut-resistant gloves
Cut-resistant gloves are protective hand coverings designed to prevent or reduce injuries from sharp objects like knives, blades, or broken glass. They are made from specialized materials such as high-performance fibers (e.g., Kevlar, Dyneema) that are incredibly tough and can absorb or resist cuts. These gloves are commonly used in food processing, construction, and manufacturing to enhance safety while performing tasks involving sharp tools. While they significantly lower the risk of cuts, no glove offers absolute protection; it’s important to select the right type for specific hazards and work carefully.
