Sylprotec offers a couple models of anti-vibration gloves to protect workers from Raynaud’s phenomenon or the carpal tunnel syndrome which both may be caused by an extended period of exposition to vibrations. Several factors may contribute to the degradation of hands:
 

• The exposure time
• The stiffness of working surfaces
• The quality and ergonomy of the tool
• The position of the worker
  

Vibrations can cause changes in tendons, muscles, bones and joints. They may also have effects on the nervous system. The symptoms described by workers range from:

• Whitening of fingertips
• Tingling and loss of sensation in the fingers
• Loss of tactile sensitivity
• Sensations of pain and cold between periodic Raynaud’s phenomenon
• Loss of grip strength
• Bone, fingers and wrist cysts

Workers likely to be affected by these conditions usually work in housekeeping, the food industry, on assembly lines, in chipping or grinding for long periods. If you work in an area which puts you at risk of developing one of these conditions, we recommend you use one of our anti-vibration gloves. Our range of products represents the best sellers for the moment, but do not hesitate to contact us if you can’t find the product you are looking for.
