Product Overview
The CT Cut F7 14 Inch Sleeve represents the pinnacle of forearm protection for those operating in environments where high cut risks are a daily reality. This grey, medium-weight sleeve extends 14 inches to cover the vulnerable area between the wrist and the elbow, ensuring that sharp edges and hazardous materials do not result in injury. Unlike many high-protection garments that rely on abrasive inclusions, this sleeve is specifically engineered to be skin-friendly while maintaining the highest possible safety rating. While you might be tempted to test its resistance yourself, we strongly suggest trusting the certification instead.
Key Features
- Maximum Cut Level F protection ensures the highest degree of safety when handling extremely sharp objects or machinery.
- Glass and steel-fibre-free construction eliminates the common issue of skin irritation, making it comfortable for extended wear during long shifts.
- Integrated DyUltra™ technology provides superior abrasion resistance, outperforming even standard para-aramids in durability.
- A 14-inch length offers comprehensive forearm coverage, bridging the gap between your gloves and your workwear sleeves.
- Elasticated ends ensure a secure, non-slip fit that keeps the protection exactly where it needs to be.
Design & Performance
At the heart of this sleeve’s performance is the DyUltra™ material. This innovative fabric is designed to provide immense tensile strength and abrasion resistance, offering a barrier that is significantly more robust than traditional protective materials. Despite its incredible strength, the fabric remains flexible and breathable. The absence of metallic or glass fibres is a deliberate design choice; it ensures that the wearer does not experience the 'itch' often associated with heavy-duty cut protection, allowing for better focus on the task at hand.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, on this specific item. As a piece of safety-critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for Cut Level F environments, any alteration to the fabric's structure—such as needle punctures from embroidery—could compromise the integrity of the cut-resistant fibres. To ensure your safety is never in doubt, we provide these sleeves in their original, certified state.
Use Cases
This sleeve is an essential addition for carpenters, metal fabricators, and glass handlers. It is particularly suited for individuals working in industrial manufacturing or waste management where the forearms are frequently exposed to jagged edges or shearing hazards.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has spent nearly half a century sourcing and providing the most reliable protective gear from our base in Telford. We understand that in high-risk trades, the quality of your equipment is not just a preference; it is a necessity. Our expertise ensures that you receive technical products that meet the rigorous demands of the modern British workplace.
Practical Advice
For optimal protection, we recommend wearing this sleeve in conjunction with a glove that offers a similar level of cut resistance. Ensure the sleeve is pulled taut and that the elasticated cuffs sit comfortably over your wrist and upper arm. If the sleeve becomes snagged or the fabric shows signs of fraying, it should be replaced immediately to maintain the required safety standard.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your protective sleeve is vital for ensuring the longevity of the DyUltra™ fibres. Accumulated grit and industrial oils can act as micro-abrasives that eventually degrade the fabric's performance over time.
We advise against the use of harsh chemical bleaches, as these can weaken the molecular structure of the high-performance synthetic materials, leading to a loss of protective integrity. Furthermore, air drying is always preferable to high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat can damage the elastic components that ensure the sleeve remains securely on your arm during work.
