Arm Guards
About our Arm Guards
Our Arm Guards are effectively used for protection against a wide range of animal bites, pecks and scratches. This exceptional safety product enables the wearer to handle a wide range of animals for intricate procedures such as medical examinations and routine inspections whilst providing adequate protection.
Our arm guards offer extra protection for the wearer during procedures that require restraining or the examining of animals. This protection helps to make the whole procedure quicker and less stressful for the animal in question.
The arm guards will protect the wearer against pecks from penguins which helps during examinations or when checking their eggs during the breeding-season. Perhaps more importantly it will also enhance the safety of young chicks who may accidentally get pecked by the parents during procedures where they are removed from the nesting box for examination.
These arm guards provide an extra level of security for the handler and thus result in, and promote, a calm experience for the animals involved.
The Long Sleeved Arm Guard with clip on fastener offers additional protection when working with animals such as Stingrays.
Ideally to be worn in combination with our Venom Defender Animal Handling Gloves for ultimate protection.
1-2-1 products and devices should only be used by trained professionals.
