🧤 Open Cuf
An Open Cuff refers to a loose sleeve end commonly found on lab coats, visitor gowns, and basic protective clothing. Unlike closed cuffs, open cuffs do not have elastic or knitted closures at the wrist. They are easier to put on and remove, offering basic protection in low-risk medical or laboratory settings.
