TechNiGlove RiVAL™ RV400 Series 9.5" Nitrile Exam Gloves (Blue) — Accelerator-Free, Powder-Free, Low Extractable, Microtextured Grip, ESD-Published Performance
Exam Grade Nitrile Accelerator-Free Powder-Free Low Extractable 9.5" (240 mm) Length 4 mil Thickness Microtextured Fingertips Beaded Cuff ESD Published (ANSI/ESD)
Overview

The TechNiGlove RiVAL™ RV400 Series is a powder-free, accelerator-free, low-extractable nitrile examination glove designed for controlled handling where comfort, consistency, and residue management matter at the operator interface. The formulation uses a soft-modulus nitrile approach for a more natural feel (latex-like stretch without natural rubber latex), while microtextured fingertips help maintain grip on tools, containers, and components.

SOSCleanroom stocks proven glove lines because critical workflows cannot afford “close enough” substitutes. RV400 is a strong everyday choice for non-sterile controlled handling where you still want disciplined contamination control and predictable performance.

Why this glove matters in controlled environments
  • Residue-conscious handling: Powder-free and described as low extractable to support cleaner transfers when surfaces and yield are sensitive.
  • Accelerator-free nitrile: Helps facilities reduce common accelerator-sensitivity concerns while maintaining nitrile’s durability and puncture resistance.
  • Better grip where it counts: Microtextured fingertips improve control on wet/dry surfaces and small parts.
  • ESD awareness: Published ESD metrics (surface resistivity, decay, tribocharge) assist ESD programs with glove selection and documentation.
  • Operational consistency: Ambidextrous form factor and beaded cuff support fast changes and cuff stability during repetitive tasks.
Typical tasks supported
  • Kitting, staging, and material prep in controlled production support areas
  • General lab/bench workflows where glove changes are frequent
  • Component handling and assembly where grip and dexterity matter
  • ESD-conscious handling (validate to your internal ESD program and environment)
  • Maintenance/support tasks where residue transfer control is desirable
  • Non-sterile controlled handling in pharmaceutical and industrial environments

Note: RV400 is an exam-grade, non-sterile glove. If your SOP requires sterile presentation or cleanroom-packaged gloves (validated particle/ionic/NVR controls), choose a glove family explicitly specified for that requirement.

Packaging and ordering

Environmentally and economically conscious presentation: packaged at 200 gloves/box to save space and reduce waste, with standard case configurations aligned to high-usage operations.

  • XS–XL: 2,000 gloves/case (10 boxes × 200)
  • XXL: 1,800 gloves/case (10 boxes × 180)
  • SKU family: RV40x (size-specific suffixes apply)
Chemical resistance (selection support)

Chemical compatibility depends on concentration, temperature, contact time, and splash vs. immersion exposure. Use the chart as a starting point, then validate to your chemical list and SOP.

Glove sizing (quick guide)
  • Size 6 to 6.5 = X-Small
  • Size 7 to 7.5 = Small
  • Size 8 = Medium
  • Size 9 = Large
  • Size 10 = X-Large
  • Size 10.5 and up = XX-Large
Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in original packaging, away from direct sunlight, heat, and ozone sources.
  • Use FIFO inventory practices and keep case/box labeling available for traceability.
  • If your process includes ESD or contamination controls, validate glove performance in your actual environment (humidity, temperature, surfaces, and workflow).

ISO-first guidance Exam glove placement Donning discipline Annex 1 notes ESD awareness
1) Where RV400 fits in a contamination-control program
RV400 is an exam-grade nitrile glove with accelerator-free and powder-free construction, plus published ESD performance. In practice, exam gloves are commonly positioned for:
  • Support areas (kitting, staging, general handling, non-aseptic assembly) where gloves primarily protect product surfaces from skin oils and reduce cross-contact.
  • Laboratory / bench work where dexterity and frequent glove changes matter.
  • ESD-conscious handling when your ESD program accepts the published performance and you validate to your environment and SOP.
Important placement note
If your process requires cleanroom-packaged gloves (low particles/ions/NVR) or sterile gloves for critical-zone manipulations, use a glove family that is explicitly specified for that requirement and validate through your gowning SOP and quality system.
2) ISO-first glove discipline
In ISO-class controlled environments, gloves are a high-motion contamination source. Even when the glove itself is low-residue, operator behavior often determines outcomes. SOSCleanroom recommends building these glove controls into your SOP:
  • Defined change points: after touching non-clean surfaces (door hardware, keyboards, cardboard, personal items), after leaving the controlled area, and after any tear/snag.
  • “Clean hands” rules: keep gloved hands above waist level; avoid contacting garments below the beltline; minimize unnecessary movement.
  • Transfer discipline: keep glove dispensers clean and positioned to prevent box debris or splash; wipe down outer packaging where required by your material transfer practice.
  • Double-glove strategy (when required): use an inner “donning glove” and an outer “process glove” that can be swapped without re-gowning.
3) EU Annex 1 lens (global context)
For sterile medicinal products, Annex 1 expectations are substantially more stringent than typical exam-glove use. Examples of Annex 1 gowning concepts that influence glove selection and SOP design include:
  • Sterile, non-powdered gloves used during gowning, followed by a second pair worn over garment sleeves for Grade B / interventions into Grade A.
  • Regular glove disinfection during operations and immediate replacement if gloves are damaged.
  • For barrier systems such as RABS, expectations include validated glove sterilization/bio-decontamination methods, disinfection after exposure, visual checks, and periodic integrity testing.
Takeaway
RV400 is best positioned for support / non-aseptic workstreams. If Annex 1 Grade A/B gowning expectations apply to your operation, select a glove that is explicitly specified as sterile and compatible with your disinfection agents, and validate the full gown–glove interface.
4) Donning steps (reducing self-contamination)
  1. Hand hygiene first: wash and dry hands fully (wet hands increase snag risk and reduce comfort).
  2. Inspect before donning: look for tears, thin spots, or cuff splits; discard if damaged.
  3. Don without “snap”: avoid rapid snapping motions that can aerosolize particles or spread residues.
  4. Set the cuff intentionally: align the cuff so it seats consistently at the wrist and does not roll.
  5. Operational discipline: treat the glove exterior as “product-contact.” If you touch a non-clean surface, change gloves.
Gown–glove interface tip
If your SOP requires securing sleeves to reduce the risk of a “gown gap,” consider a cuff sealer/tape step. Example: Texwipe perforated cuff sealer.
5) When to step up from RV400
Consider upgrading glove type when your risk assessment indicates higher control needs (particles/ions/NVR, packaging discipline, or sterility):
  • ISO 5 / Class 100 handling where glove cleanliness and packaging practices are explicitly controlled.
  • Box wipe-down requirements where paperboard packaging is a contamination concern.
  • Regulated sterile processing where sterile gloves and routine disinfection are required by SOP and regulation.
Cleanroom upgrade (ISO 5)
