Extrication & Rescue Gloves

Extrication gloves are a form of hand protection emergency responders wear to protect themselves from hand injuries during rescue operations. Sometimes referred to as “vehicle extrication gloves” or “auto extrication gloves”, these gloves are designed to provide maximum dexterity and protection. Similar in design to auto mechanic’s gloves, extrication gloves are made of a stronger cut resistant material. It is important that extrication gloves retain enough shape and mobility to allow for the easy operation of rescue equipment. Extrication gloves are best for rescues not involving fire, as structural gloves would be better rated for those purposes.
