8. IMAGE: A typical cut injury, which could have been prevented if this person
was issued with a slash resistant UBAC shirt

9. Even when wearing a top
quality body armour… this injury
wouldn’t be prevented because
the neck/throat area will remain
unprotected and exposed.
PPSS have developed their
slash resistant UBAC shirt to
successfully prevent such injuries
and to reduce the risk of rapid
blood loss and even death.
