Product Overview
The A793 Needle Resistant F10 Latex Crinkle Glove is a specialist piece of hand protection designed for high-risk environments where puncturing from hypodermic needles and sharp fragments is a constant concern. By integrating advanced steel mesh reinforcement with an ANSI A9 rated liner, this glove provides the highest tier of protection available without the restrictive bulk often found in heavy-duty safety gear. It is a vital asset for professionals who require both safety and the ability to perform precise manual tasks.
Key Features
- Steel Mesh Reinforcement: This layer significantly enhances the protective capabilities of the liner, offering superior resistance against needle penetration.
- ANSI A9 Liner: This provides the highest standard of cut resistance, protecting the wearer from blades and sharp-edged materials.
- Latex Crinkle Finish: The textured coating improves grip performance in both wet and oily conditions, ensuring tools and materials are handled securely.
- Zoned Puncture Resistance: The palm features level 5 needle resistance for maximum safety, while the fingers provide level 2 protection to balance safety with tactile sensitivity.
- Level 5 Dexterity: The unique construction ensures that the glove remains flexible, allowing the user to work effectively without feeling hindered by the protective materials.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A793 is rooted in its sophisticated material composition, which includes HPPE, Steel, and a crinkled rubber coating. This combination allows the glove to achieve a substantial feel while remaining surprisingly lightweight during use. The steel mesh is the defining feature, engineered to stop sharps from reaching the skin while the surrounding fabric maintains the glove’s shape and fit.
On-site, the latex crinkle finish is particularly effective when handling slippery or lubricated materials. Unlike smooth coatings that can lose traction when wet, the crinkled surface creates mechanical friction, providing the confidence needed to work in demanding environments like recycling centres or maintenance sites.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this specific item to ensure the structural integrity of the protective layers remains uncompromised. Adding embroidery or heat-applied logos could potentially damage the needle-resistant mesh or the protective latex coating, which would invalidate the safety certifications and put the wearer at risk.
Use Cases
These gloves are designed for professionals working in waste management, recycling, and law enforcement where there is a high risk of encountering discarded needles or sharp debris. They are also suitable for industrial maintenance and cleaning roles that involve handling hazardous clinical waste or sharp metallic fragments.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to make the most of the level 5 dexterity. A glove that is too large will reduce your control over fine movements, while a glove that is too small may cause hand fatigue over long shifts. Always inspect the latex coating for wear before use to ensure the grip remains effective.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your specialist gloves is essential for ensuring they continue to provide the necessary level of protection. You should regularly inspect the gloves for any punctures or tears in the outer coating, as any breach can compromise the integrity of the needle-resistant layer. If the latex crinkle finish becomes heavily soiled with oils or chemicals, it should be wiped clean to prevent the rubber from degrading prematurely.
Store your gloves in a dry environment away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the natural rubber components to become brittle, which reduces both the flexibility and the grip performance of the glove. By keeping them clean and properly stored, you ensure the steel mesh and liner remain in optimal condition for your safety.
