Ansell 11-271-16 Cut Resistant Sleeve Universal Ansi A2

Product Description

The ANSELL 11-271-16 is a cut- and puncture-resistant protective sleeve designed for hand and arm protection during assembly, maintenance, inspection, and parts-handling tasks. Constructed from seamless nylon, the sleeve measures 16.0 inches in overall length and fits a universal size. It meets ANSI Cut Level A2, ASTM F2992-15, and EN 388 3342 standards, making it appropriate for environments where sharp edges, fasteners, or components present a laceration risk. The elastic cuff closure with openings at both ends ensures a secure, adjustable fit, and a thumb hole keeps the sleeve positioned correctly during active use.

This sleeve is suited for light industrial and trade environments including equipment repair and maintenance, component inspection, production line parts delivery, fastening and screwing operations, and finished equipment delivery. Its seamless nylon construction reduces pressure points during extended wear. The silicone-free material makes it compatible with work environments where silicone contamination is a concern, such as certain electronics assembly or painting-adjacent tasks. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and assembly workers operating around sheet metal edges, conduit, or mechanical components will find it applicable to routine service work.

Installation Notes

Pull the sleeve over the forearm and insert the thumb through the thumb hole before beginning work to keep the sleeve from riding up. Inspect the sleeve before each use for signs of wear, cuts, or degradation that may compromise cut resistance. Replace the sleeve if the nylon fabric shows visible damage or has been subjected to a cut-through event. Follow your facility or jobsite PPE policy for inspection intervals and retirement criteria.
