Ansell TouchNTuff® DermaShield™ 73-701 Sterile Neoprene Cleanroom Gloves — Class 100 / ISO 5 & EU GMP Grade A Durability, Low-Allergy Potential and SureFit™ Cuff Control
Class 100 / ISO 5 EU GMP Grade A Neoprene (polychloroprene) Sterile (gamma, 25 kGy) Powder-free Textured fingers Polymer coated (DERMASHIELD™) SureFit™ straight cuff 200 pairs / case
Product overview
TouchNTuff® DermaShield™ 73-701 is a sterile, powder-free neoprene (polychloroprene) glove designed for aseptic operations in Class 100 / ISO 5 (and EU GMP Grade A) controlled environments. It combines an anatomic, curved-finger shape for dexterity with a polymer-coated internal surface (DERMASHIELD™ Technology) to support consistent donning, and textured fingertips for confident handling during gowning, material transfers and critical manipulations.
Bulk case packing:
1 pair per inner poly pack; 10 inner poly packs per inner polybag; 5 outer polybags per bag; 4 bags per master bag; 1 master bag of 200 pairs per carton/case.
Why customers choose 73-701
- Designed for ISO 5 / Class 100 aseptic work where glove performance and contamination control discipline are inseparable from product risk.
- Neoprene formulation supports durability and puncture resistance for sustained tasks, including repetitive transfers and controlled handling.
- Free of natural rubber latex proteins and chemical accelerators to help reduce Type I and Type IV allergy and sensitivity concerns in critical programs.
- SureFit™ Technology straight cuff is designed to reduce cuff roll-down, supporting stable gowning interfaces and reducing the chance of liquid roll-off events.
- Textured fingers improve grip on tools, containers, vials and fixtures where micro-slips can create particles, touch-transfer or operator fatigue.
- Validated sterile processing (gamma irradiation, 25 kGy) supports aseptic workflows that require sterile barrier discipline.
Clinical/compounding note:
This glove is published as tested for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978. It is also published as not listed in the U.S. FDA 510(k) database. Always align glove selection to your facility risk assessment, compatibility needs and documentation requirements.
Recommended applications
- Transferring liquids and solids in controlled environments
- Sample taking and processing
- Blending and compounding solids and liquids
- Aseptic filling and labeling
Program note: The published guidance recommends double-gloving (as an outer glove or underglove). In ISO 5 critical zones, define your change frequency and glove integrity expectations (visual checks, controlled change points and step-based glove changes) as part of your contamination control strategy.

Test method context (as published): particle metric references IEST-RP-CC005.4; dimensional/thickness targets reference EN 420 / ASTM D3767; AQL references EN 455-1 / ASTM D3577. Always validate glove selection in your process, including chemical compatibility, product contact risk, and operator technique.
Cleanroom program guidance
In U.S.-based cleanrooms and regulated manufacturing programs, gloves are treated as a primary contamination control and mix-up risk because they are frequently the closest barrier to product and critical surfaces. Build glove selection and use into your contamination control strategy: standardized sizing, controlled donning/doffing, defined change frequency at risk points, and immediate change-out rules after contact events (door handles, carts, non-classified items, or suspect surfaces). Where applicable to your quality system, align glove use documentation with risk management and quality expectations (for example, FDA quality systems/cGMP frameworks, and facility SOP discipline).
As a secondary/global benchmark, EU GMP Annex 1 reinforces contamination control strategy (CCS) thinking for sterile manufacture: material transfer discipline, glove integrity and changes at defined critical steps, and documentation practices that support traceability and investigation readiness. Use Annex 1 as a continuous improvement lens where it fits your business, without treating it as a U.S. legal requirement.

Build a best-in-class ISO 5 consumables set
SOSCleanroom does not compromise on glove quality in critical environments. Ansell is our best-in-class glove line for customers who need consistent controlled-environment performance and documentation discipline. To reduce overall contamination risk in ISO 5 spaces, match your glove choice with the appropriate wiping and swabbing materials for the same environment.
Texwipe pairing suggestion (ISO 5-aligned wiping and swabbing)
For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. For ISO Class 5 wiping, many customers standardize on Texwipe AlphaWipe® TX1009/TX1009B polyester wipers for routine cleaning and spill response where a low-linting wipe is required (note: no wiper is truly lint-free). For precision cleaning of tight geometries, pair with Texwipe polyester cleanroom swabs and select sterile swab formats when your process requires sterile barrier discipline.
