 Safety has always been the most important issue for
Trelleborg Protective Products when designing and producing the Viking diving suits.
They see functionality as the most important aspect of safety. A diving suit that works the way it should, is perhaps the best safety assurance the professional diver can get.
One of the most difficult
parts of your body to protect
underwater are your hands. This is true because the
hands have a great deal of surface area relative to their
size, and they have many curves and individual extensions
(fingers). We use our hands constantly
when we dive, and because of this, our
hands and wrists are exposed constantly
to the risk of mechanical damage. In poor visibility,
the natural and normal reaction is to extend your
hands in front of you as you feel your way along the
bottom.
Designing a system to protect
the hands takes both good engineering as well as experience and knowledge
in diving. That’s where Viking’s expertise is unbeatable. They’ve
devised a cuff ring system that
provides tremendous mechanical protection and chemical resistance. The
standard Viking cuff ring system has only two parts; an inner ring that
provides strength inside the sleeve,
and an outer ring that provides a sealing surface for cuffs and dry
gloves. |
