 Gimbel Frisk & Search Gloves - Clearance
Police and correctional officers face the dangers everyday — needles, knives and other sharp objects hidden in pockets, car seats and jail cells just waiting to inflict serious injury or infection. Not to mention the risk of contact with poisons, corrosives and body fluids carrying disease, such as Hepatitis or AIDS.
|
Here are the facts.
|
- New York, Florida and Texas have the
largest number of AIDS-infected prisoners, which accounted for 48% of
all AIDS cases in state prisons in 1995.
- A 1994 survey co-sponsored by the
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that AIDS is almost six times
more prevalent among inmates than in the total U.S. population.
- In U.S. correctional facilities,
Hepatitis "C" infection rates exceed 30-40%.
- Costs for the first year of treatment
for Hepatitis "C" exceed $13,000.
- Currently both AIDS and Hepatitis
"C" are incurable diseases

Now there’s a better way to handle the
hazards—puncture-resistant Gimbel Frisk and Search Gloves. It’s like a
bulletproof vest for your hands that still allows you to feel a trigger,
operate handcuff keys, identify objects by touch, and take notes. Gimbel
Frisk and Search Gloves offer the best puncture resistance available in a
tactile glove. Triple-gloving with standard latex gloves won’t protect
you against cuts or punctures. Kevlar gloves limit feeling, flexibility
and offer no fluid protection. The patented Gimbel Frisk and Search Glove
is designed to meet the National Law Enforcement Corrections Technology
Center’s top criteria for protective gloves, including pathogen
protection, cut and puncture-resistance, dexterity, tactility and
durability.
