Ansell 69-318 Glove TouchNTuff Latex

TouchNTuff® 69-318 is built for the kind of work where gloves must protect the product and the process without blunting touch. The thin, soft, elastic latex construction supports precise handling, while textured fingers improve control on small parts, tools, and delicate instruments. This is a high-utility, high-tactility exam glove commonly selected for sample handling, testing, and food-contact workflows where comfort and dexterity drive outcomes.

TouchNTuff® 69-318 is a strong choice when you need confident hand feel for inspection, sample prep, and repeatable manipulation of small objects. In regulated or controlled environments, this glove is typically used where sterility is not required (the manufacturer lists this glove as non-sterile) and where a documented gowning/gloving discipline is part of the contamination control strategy.

• Sample taking and processing
• Testing and bench workflows requiring tactile feedback
• General-purpose lab and life-science handling
• Food contact and food processing applications (food-handling compliant per product documentation)
• Light maintenance tasks where grip and feel matter (e.g., vehicle maintenance)

Gloves are a “small” line item that can create outsized risk in critical environments. SOSCleanroom’s position is simple: we do not compromise on glove quality. Ansell is SOSCleanroom’s best-in-class glove line because Ansell designs PPE with disciplined manufacturing controls, published test methods, and a deep portfolio that lets teams standardize protection by task and risk.

Ansell is a global provider of safety solutions across multiple industries (including laboratory and life sciences) and maintains broad technical and resource infrastructure (e.g., glove selection tools and compliance resources) to support correct PPE selection and use.

• Soft, elastic latex feel for an exceptionally comfortable fit and strong dexterity during longer wear.
• Thin wall for tactility when you need the glove to “disappear” during fine manipulation.
• Textured fingers to stabilize grip on small tools, vials, delicate instruments, and packaging features.
• Powder-free to reduce powder-related nuisance contamination and improve user acceptance in controlled workflows.
• Measured physical properties with published methods for length, thickness, and pinhole acceptance level (AQL).

Annex 1 places heavy emphasis on contamination control strategy (CCS), operator practices, and documented discipline. Even when a glove is not sterile, the way it is donned, used, disinfected (when applicable), and replaced can materially affect cross-contamination risk. If your CCS calls for gloves in controlled areas, treat glove use as a controlled process: define touch boundaries, define change triggers, and train to consistent technique.

• Define change-out triggers: torn glove, compromised cuff, after handling cartons/outer packaging, after touching non-controlled surfaces, and at time-based intervals appropriate to your process.
• Control “dirty touch” events: if a hand contacts door handles, keyboards, chair edges, or non-controlled tools, change gloves rather than “rubbing it off.”
• Disinfection compatibility (site-specific): if your SOP allows glove disinfection with alcohol or disinfectants, validate compatibility and residue risk for your exact chemistry and dwell-time expectations.
• Double-gloving strategy: where risk justifies it, consider an outer-glove change model to reduce interruptions while protecting the inner barrier (site policy-driven).
• Documentation and training: record glove selection rationale, lot/receipt controls as needed, and provide short, enforceable technique guidance to operators.

Note: 69-318 is listed as non-sterile by the manufacturer. If your process requires sterile gloves for aseptic activities, select a sterile cleanroom glove designed and packaged for that purpose.
