Emergency responders looking for the perfect technical rescue glove can end their search. Fire-Dex, the manufacturer of PPE for first responders, introduces the Dex-Rescue Glove, which is a cut above when it comes to technical rescue responses.
Dex-Rescue Glove
Designed to be a first responder’s best friend, the Dex-Rescue Glove is the industry’s first non-structural glove certified to NFPA 1951 (“Standard on Protective Ensembles for Technical Rescue Incidents”).
The new glove brings wearers the very best in puncture resistance and flash fire protection. Extremely durable and comfortable, there is no worry about this glove melting or igniting due to a flash fire or restricting manual dexterity in critical moments.
protection priorities
There are vast numbers of extrication gloves on the market but are not certified to NFPA 1951"
“There are vast numbers of extrication gloves on the market, but are not certified to NFPA 1951,” says Todd Herring, Vice President, Product Innovation and Strategy for Fire-Dex.
“Our close work with extrication specialists has highlighted protection priorities that are much different for technical rescue than for structural firefighting. We saw this as an opportunity to give emergency responders the specialized protection they deserve.”
Get a Grip
Dex-Rescue Gloves meet the industry’s highest standards for cut, abrasion, and comfortability while helping wearers maintain a better grip on potentially dangerous situations with enhanced features.
These are based on the qualities of popular Dex-Pro Gloves that wearers already know and love for structural calls, with enhancements concentrated on rescue applications including:
- Pigskin construction is the best choice for abrasion resistance and breathability in wet and dry conditions, which also feels broken in right out of the bag.
- Goatskin finger sidewalls help improve manual dexterity by remaining soft and pliable over time.
- Smart-touch materials make it easy to use mobile devices in the field without removing one’s gloves.
- Roll over fingertips for increased dexterity and gripping power.
- Keystone thumb design permits a 360° range of motion for added flexibility.
- Dex-Flex fingers that are naturally bent to reduce restriction and hand fatigue.
- Impact guards provide sturdy knuckle and finger protection from impacts, cuts, and punctures.
technical rescue missions
Whether assisting civilians in need, responding to a natural disaster, or locating lost persons, rescuers must be ready for the unexpected.
That’s why the rugged and versatile Dex-Rescue Gloves are crafted with all types of technical rescue missions in mind. Anything from chemical spills to electrical incidents to wildland emergencies, Fire-Dex puts stronger protection within easy reach.
Lightweight ensemble
Wearing alternative gear can also extend the longevity of structural gear
As the best choice for most non-structural calls and a perfect companion to dual-certified TECGEN51 Fatigues from Fire-Dex, Dex-Rescue Gloves can be paired with non-structural PPE to create one lightweight ensemble that’s specifically designed to reduce heat stress through increased breathability.
Wearing alternative gear can also extend the longevity of structural gear that is not required for non-fire calls.
Find the Fit
Available in XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL sizes to ensure a proper individualized fit, Dex-Rescue Gloves are made with materials that make a difference in the line of duty by providing advanced palm and back-of-hand protection. These gloves even stay soft and comfortable after repeated wet/dry cycles.
