A single liquid nitrogen spill during a routine transfer can reach hands, forearms, lower legs, and feet before a worker can step back — and no single piece of PPE covers all four zones. The TempShield CRYO-PROTECTION® Safety Kit Plus (SKEB/SKMA-GR Series) solves that with one purchase: Waterproof CRYO-GRIP® elbow or midarm gloves, CRYO-GAITERS™, a CRYO-APRON®, and a CRYO-PROTECTION® Face Shield — complete CE Category III certified coverage for lab and research cryogenic work to -196°C (-320°F). Made in USA.

CRYO-GRIP® Glove Features
- Waterproof GORE-TEX Liner: 100% waterproof, seamless GORE-TEX membrane blocks liquid nitrogen and cryogenic liquid splash while remaining breathable during extended lab use.
- Textured Grip Palm: Patterned palm maintains secure hold on vials, pipettes, and lab tools under cold, wet conditions where smooth-palm gloves lose grip.
- -196°C (-320°F) Cryogenic Protection: Multi-layer construction protects against liquid nitrogen contact, vapor exposure, and cryogenic splash.
- CE Cat. III — EN 511, EN 388, EN 420: Independent third-party certified to the highest EU PPE classification, covering protection against mortal risk and serious irreversible injury.
- ⚠ Not for immersion in cryogenic liquids.
Choosing Elbow vs. Midarm Length
Choose Elbow (SKEB-GR) when there is risk of cryogenic liquid contact along the forearm — overhead dispensing, high-flow transfers, or any task where the arm may be exposed above the wrist. The 48" CRYO-APRON® pairs with elbow gloves for coordinated forearm-to-waist coverage. Choose Midarm (SKMA-GR) for bench-height dispensing with limited forearm exposure risk, or when a lighter option is preferred. The 42" CRYO-APRON® is matched to midarm length coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from the CRYO-PROTECTION® Grip Safety Kit Plus (SKCG-GR series)?
Both kits use Waterproof CRYO-GRIP® gloves. The SKCG-GR series uses wrist-length gloves; this SKEB/SKMA-GR series uses elbow or midarm length gloves for extended arm coverage. Choose SKCG-GR for tasks where wrist-length gloves are sufficient; choose SKEB/SKMA-GR when forearm coverage is required.
Are Cryo-Gaiters™ included in both elbow and midarm variants?
Yes — all eight SKEB/SKMA-GR variants include one pair of CRYO-GAITERS™. The gaiters provide lower-leg and foot splash protection regardless of which glove length you select. Gaiter fit is universal; they attach via Velcro® fasteners over standard footwear.
