Needlestick-resistant gloves resist punctures from hypodermic needles and high resistance to cuts when handling glass, cable, and sharp blades. They are worn by sanitation workers when sorting trash and recycling, healthcare workers when working with patients or waste, and law-enforcement personnel. Knit needlestick-resistant gloves are breathable, provide good dexterity, and are seamless to reduce bulk between the fingers. Mechanics- and riggers-style needlestick-resistant gloves have knuckle padding and palm coatings and are formfitting to provide comfortable protection. Leather needlestick-resistant gloves have a needlestick-resistant inner layer with an abrasion-resistant leather exterior.
