Over the last several years vibration from the use of power tools has become a major work related problem that is recognized by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).  Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) affects millions of people worldwide.  The primary cause of HAVS has been the increased use of power tools that transmit vibration.  The signs of HAVS are usually gradual and appear as tingling or numbness in the hand and can expands over time to continually sore hands.  This is caused by irreversible medium nerve damage that ends in the palm.  In many cases this is a work related syndrome, recently power tools have become more affordable and are used by a greater number of people around the house (hand held electric tools, chain saws, grinders, etc.).  

Vibration reduction gloves have recently been shown to significantly reduce the vibration. Our selection of Anti-Vibration Gloves all use our patented Gelfôm® shock absorption pads. Gelfôm was developed in Scandinavia and is proven to reduce vibration in the middle and high frequencies.  The chart shows how our Gelfôm  pads absorb vibration when compared to regular gloves.

Whether  you are using power tools, motorcycles, or any other vibrating equipment  at work, at home, or any where you should consider using a glove that can minimize the vibration to your hand. 

We offer two kinds of anti-vibration gloves at this site, but we have a greater selection of gloves available.  Call us toll free at 888-723-3115 if you don't see what you need.
