Ansell Sterile Polyisoprene Cleanroom Gloves Latex-Like Performance Without Natural Rubber Proteins — Designed for Aseptic Manufacturing Ansell sterile polyisoprene cleanroom gloves provide the elasticity and tactile sensitivity of natural rubber latex while eliminating natural rubber proteins associated with latex allergies. These sterile gloves are widely used in pharmaceutical aseptic manufacturing, biotechnology laboratories, medical device production, and sterile compounding environments where both dexterity and latex-free materials are required. ▼ EXPAND TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Sterile Gloves for Aseptic Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Environments
Polyisoprene is a synthetic elastomer engineered to replicate the flexibility, elasticity, and tactile sensitivity of natural rubber latex while eliminating the proteins responsible for latex allergy reactions. This makes sterile polyisoprene gloves a preferred solution in facilities transitioning away from natural rubber latex while still requiring high dexterity for sterile operations.
Ansell sterile polyisoprene gloves are typically sterilized using gamma irradiation and validated to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶. This sterility assurance supports pharmaceutical aseptic filling, sterile compounding, medical device manufacturing, and life science laboratory environments requiring validated sterile PPE.
In addition to sterility validation, polyisoprene cleanroom gloves are manufactured using controlled washing processes designed to reduce particles, ionic contamination, and extractable residues that may interfere with sensitive manufacturing processes.
Advantages of Polyisoprene Glove Technology
Latex-Like Elasticity:
Polyisoprene provides excellent elasticity and flexibility comparable to natural rubber latex.
Latex-Free Material:
Polyisoprene eliminates natural rubber proteins, reducing the risk of latex allergy exposure.
Superior Dexterity:
Thin glove films allow precise manipulation of sterile components during aseptic manufacturing.
Low Particle & Residue Potential:
Cleanroom-grade polyisoprene gloves are processed to reduce particle generation and extractable contamination.
Fast Selection Guidance
  • Aseptic pharmaceutical manufacturing: sterile polyisoprene gloves for high-dexterity sterile operations.
  • USP <797> sterile compounding: latex-free sterile gloves supporting controlled compounding.
  • Biotechnology laboratories: sterile barrier gloves for contamination-sensitive procedures.
  • Medical device sterile assembly: gloves allowing precise handling of delicate components.
  • Latex-restricted facilities: polyisoprene gloves providing latex-like performance without natural rubber proteins.
Cleanroom & Sterility Performance Considerations
  • Sterility Assurance Level (SAL): commonly validated to SAL 10⁻⁶ through gamma irradiation.
  • Particle Control: gloves processed to reduce particle shedding during aseptic work.
  • Ionic Extractables: reduced sodium, potassium, and chloride levels support controlled environments.
  • Barrier Integrity: durable synthetic elastomer construction resists liquid penetration.
  • Operator Dexterity: polyisoprene elasticity allows excellent tactile feedback.
Typical Applications
  • Pharmaceutical aseptic manufacturing and sterile filling
  • USP <797> sterile compounding cleanrooms
