STETTA STAT Sleeve: Essential Workplace Protection
The Risks of Occupational Bites & Scratches
In a veterinary setting, a split-second reaction from an animal stressed or in pain can lead to career-altering injuries. Failure to utilize proper arm protection against animal-inflicted injuries can lead to:
- Zoonotic Disease & Infection: High risk of localized and systemic infections (such as Pasteurella, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus) as well as exposure to zoonotic pathogens transmitted through saliva and blood.
- Severe Physical Trauma: Deep puncture wounds, jagged lacerations and crushing tissue damage — particularly to the hands and forearms.
- Emotional & Mental Toll: Increased “compassion fatigue,” anxiety when handling difficult patients and reduced confidence during restraint.
- Financial & Operational Burden: Lost clinic time, high medical expenses for staff and rising workers’ compensation premiums.
- Professional Impact: Hand and arm injuries can sideline a technician or surgeon for weeks, impacting the clinic’s ability to provide care.
Available Sizes
- Small / Medium
