Healthmark Industries announces that it has added the new Arm Sleeve to its personal protective equipment accessory product line.
AORN guidelines state that arms must be covered when preparing and packaging sterile items in the clean assembly area of sterile processing, which is why Healthmark developed the arm sleeves for healthcare professionals working within the sterilization department. Designed as an alternative to the traditional long-sleeved scrub top or jacket, the machine washable arm sleeves are a one-size that fits a bicep of 10 to 14 inches and are made from a fast-drying and moisture-wicking polyester material, featuring an elastic gripper to prevent the sleeve from sliding down the user’s arm. Available in blue, green and pink solid colors.
