"In the seven years that I've been in law enforcement, I've put myself at risk for catching a communicable disease because gloves aren't enough to prevent a needle stick... I think officers today have a greater chance of getting stuck with a needle than being shot." - Adam Burns, a South Florida police officer and advocate of the Ampel Probe

Why Gloves Alone Are Not The Solution
While gloves are a step in the right direction towards sharps injury prevention, gloves alone are not enough. All to often, glove manufacturer advertisements can be very misleading. Their product photographs and promotional videos can lead viewers to believe their gloves will prevent a needle stick. However, upon closer inspection of these advertisements there is always a disclaimer stating that their products are only cut and puncture resistent and that they are not puncture proof. In fact, there is not one manufacturer of protective gloves that will guaranty their product to be puncture proof. Not one. Unfortunately, these misleading advertisements can lull a user into a false sense of security placing them at even greater risk of a potential accident. This is not in the best interest of the customer.

Getting A Grip On Safety
Today’s biological hazards in the workplace have become increasingly
more dangerous than in years past. As diseases like HIV and Hepatitis
reach epidemic proportions and Avian Bird Flu begin to escalate, health
and safety concerns have taken center stage with employers and employees
alike. From the frontlines of law enforcement, fire/rescue, Hazmat and
military to the variety of risks commonly confronted by custodial and
electrical workers, these hazards and others create fear for many
involved.
From simple bruises and abrasions to more serious concerns such as cuts
and sticks from various sharps like razors and needles that potentially
harbor these deadly pathogens, workers should always remain alert and
exercise every possible precaution to insure their safety.
Ampel Probe User Testimonials
"The Ampel Probe is not another gadget to wear or store in your box but an essential
tool to protect your life in so many ways, everyday. Personally, during
my years in Special Operations and as a First Responder in the medical
field, wish I could have had access to at least one Ampel Probe tool.
The manipulation and especially the stand off distance provided by the
tool is essential to the peace officer, bomb technician, investigator
and paramedic whether you are collecting evidence or using them to
conduct personal pat down searches."
- Rick D. Goins, State of Missouri,
Critical Asset Protection Office.
