Detailed Description

The PD4900 series is designed for the public safety and high-risk industrial market where needle stick injury represents a serious occupational blood-borne pathogen exposure risk. Law enforcement officers, corrections personnel, search-and-rescue teams, and industrial workers in environments with hypodermic needle exposure require gloves that provide needle stick resistance as a primary protection requirement. The PD4900XL integrates this protection into the Predator series' impact-protection mechanics glove platform, adding needle resistance without sacrificing the dexterity and protection characteristics of the Predator line.

The high-visibility construction of the PD4900XL addresses the situational awareness requirements of public safety operations where hand visibility supports team coordination, command identification, and operational communication in field environments. For emergency response teams working in crowds, low-light environments, or complex incident scenes, high-visibility hand gear improves coordination and reduces misidentification incidents.

For X-Large-handed workers and responders, the PD4900XL provides multi-hazard protection calibrated for the 10–11-inch hand circumference. The needle-resistant layer, impact TPR guards, and high-visibility construction are all sized to X-Large-specific hand geometry for proper protection effectiveness. A properly fitted PD4900 provides full needle-resistant coverage without gaps at the finger bases or wrist interface where improperly sized gloves can leave unprotected areas.

In industrial environments with needle exposure risk — recycling operations, waste handling, hospital and clinical material processing, and contaminated site remediation — the PD4900XL provides the occupational protection combination appropriate for workers handling potentially contaminated sharp materials. The TPR impact guards address the additional mechanical injury risk from the contaminated environments where needle exposure typically occurs, such as compacting equipment operations and manual waste sorting.

Applications and Use Cases

• Law enforcement and corrections — needle stick risk in search and apprehension
• Search and rescue — needle exposure in disaster response environments
• Recycling and waste processing — contaminated sharp material handling
• Hospital and clinical material handling — contaminated sharp waste
• Contaminated site remediation with sharps exposure
• Industrial operations with needle exposure and impact risk

Frequently Asked Questions

What hand size does this product fit?

The PD4900XL fits X-Large hands with a circumference of approximately 10–11 inches. The glove is patterned to X-Large-specific dimensions for proper needle-resistant coverage, TPR guard alignment, and high-visibility construction.

What type of needle stick protection does the PD4900 provide?

The PD4900 series incorporates a needle-resistant layer designed to resist penetration from hypodermic needles. For specific needle stick resistance performance data, consult the product specification sheet. The needle-resistant construction addresses the occupational blood-borne pathogen exposure risk from hypodermic needle contact in law enforcement, public safety, and industrial environments.

Is the PD4900 appropriate for law enforcement search operations?

Yes. The PD4900XL is designed for law enforcement and corrections applications where needle stick risk during search and apprehension operations creates blood-borne pathogen exposure risk. The high-visibility construction, needle stick protection, and impact guards address the specific hazard profile of these operations.

What other sizes are available in the PD4900 series?

The PD4900 series is available from Small through 4X-Large, covering the full range of hand sizes in public safety and industrial workforces where broader size coverage is required.

Can the PD4900 be used in contaminated site remediation?

The PD4900XL is appropriate for contaminated site work where needle exposure is a documented risk alongside the general mechanical hazards of remediation operations. For sites with chemical or biological contamination beyond needle exposure, additional chemical-resistant gloves or layered PPE may be required based on the specific contamination profile.
