Sleeve Guards (Other Considerations)

Disposable sleeve guards can provide additional protection to the wrist and arm areas.
  • Sleeve guards are typically used when:
  • The lab coat sleeve length is not long enough, and the cuffs may not overlap the gloves fully
  • Working in molecular testing labs to prevent lab personnel from contaminating their work with their own shedding skin.
