Ansell 11-251-18-W Cut Puncture-resistant Sleeve 18in

Product Description

The ANSELL 11-251-18-W is a seamless, cut and puncture-resistant sleeve designed to protect the forearm and lower arm during tasks that involve contact with sharp edges, metal panels, glass, or rough surfaces. Constructed from polyethylene, the sleeve measures 18 inches in overall length and features a continuous knit cuff closure with a thumb hole for a secure, stay-in-place fit. Licensed trades and industrial workers who regularly handle sheet metal, glass, or structural components rely on this sleeve as a lightweight layer of cut protection that does not interfere with dexterity or tool use.

This sleeve is suited for residential and commercial service work where incidental contact with sharp edges is common. Typical applications include adjusting panels, handling metal sheet and metal components, glass repair, and working around structural parts with rough or sharp edges. The sleeve can be worn wet for evaporative cooling or dry for moisture-wicking comfort, making it practical in both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor field conditions. UPF 40+ construction also provides incidental UV protection during outdoor service calls.

Installation Notes

Slip the sleeve over the forearm and feed the thumb through the thumb hole before beginning work involving sharp edges or rough surfaces. Inspect the sleeve for cuts, abrasion damage, or thinning before each use and replace if the fabric integrity is compromised. This sleeve is a supplemental PPE layer and should be used in conjunction with appropriate cut-resistant gloves when required by jobsite safety protocols.
