Ansell DERMASHIELD™ 73-711 Sterile Neoprene Cleanroom Gloves — Class 100 / ISO 5 Low-Allergy Protection with Textured Fingertips for Aseptic Handling
Class 100 / ISO 5 EU GMP Grade A Sterile (gamma irradiated) Neoprene (polychloroprene) Latex-free Accelerator-free Textured fingertips DERMASHIELD™ polymer coating Double-gloving friendly Chemo-tested (ASTM D6978) 12" length 200 pairs / case
Product overview
Ansell DERMASHIELD™ 73-711 is a sterile, disposable neoprene cleanroom glove built for aseptic and Class 100 / ISO 5 (EU GMP Grade A) environments where operators want a latex-free, accelerator-free barrier without giving up durability, dexterity or grip. Textured fingertips support controlled handling of components, containers and sterile packaging, while the DERMASHIELD™ internal polymer coating supports donning consistency for long shifts and double-glove programs.
Aseptic handling note
In ISO 5 work, gloves are commonly treated as the highest-frequency product-contact risk. Build glove selection into your contamination-control strategy: consistent sizing, defined change frequency, controlled donning/doffing steps, and clear “touch rules” at critical points of use.
Why customers choose DERMASHIELD™ 73-711
  • Designed for aseptic and Class 100 / ISO 5 operations where glove cleanliness, sterility and repeatable technique directly impact yield and batch integrity.
  • Latex-free and accelerator-free formulation to help reduce Type I (latex) and Type IV (chemical) sensitivity concerns in long-wear sterile programs.
  • Robust neoprene (polychloroprene) film supports puncture resistance and chemical splash protection commonly needed during cleaning and transfers.
  • Textured fingertips support secure grip during precise manipulations, especially when handling lightly wetted items or sterile pouch material.
  • Double-gloving friendly as an outer glove or underglove (define your program standard so operators do not improvise at the bench).
  • Tested for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978 (not listed in the U.S. FDA 510(k) as published).
Recommended applications
  • Transferring liquids in controlled environments
  • Cleanroom cleaning and preparing (sterile boundary controlled steps)
  • Sample taking and processing in aseptic workflows
  • Material transfers and staging where glove integrity and documented touch discipline reduce intervention risk
  • Programs supporting hazardous drug handling where chemo-tested gloves are specified by policy (always validate to your SOP and risk assessment)
Practical technique tip: define glove-change triggers after contact with carts, door hardware, keyboards, phones, and any surface outside the controlled boundary. In ISO 5 work, “small touches” become the most common source of contamination events.

Cleanroom program guidance (U.S. first, global context second)
In U.S.-based cleanrooms and regulated operations, gloves are typically treated as a primary contamination-control and mix-up risk at point of use. Many programs use ISO 14644 terminology to align cleanroom classification language, while sterile processing expectations are managed through internal quality systems and risk-based controls aligned to FDA expectations for documented training, investigations and change control. If your operation includes hazardous drug handling, ensure glove selection, double-glove rules, and change frequency are defined by policy and validated to your specific workflow (USP <800> is commonly used as a U.S. framework in applicable settings).
As a secondary/global benchmark, EU GMP Annex 1 reinforces contamination control strategy (CCS) discipline: controlled material transfers, defined glove-change triggers at critical steps, and documentation that supports 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.

Ansell DERMASHIELD™ 73-711 Sterile Neoprene (Polychloroprene) Cleanroom Gloves — ISO 5 / Class 100, Gamma Sterilized (25 kGy), Latex-Free & Accelerator-Free
Class 100 / ISO 5 Sterile (Gamma 25 kGy) Neoprene (Polychloroprene) Latex-Free Accelerator-Free AQL 0.65 Chemo-Tested (ASTM D6978)
1. Practical solutions in a critical environment

In ISO 5 / Grade A work zones, gloves are a primary product-contact surface and a common source of process variation. The 73-711 is selected when teams need a sterile, low-allergy glove that still behaves like a true work glove: stable cuff, controlled grip, and predictable barrier performance through routine wipe-down and handling steps.

This model is also a practical answer for programs managing latex-protein sensitivity and chemical accelerator exposure, without forcing operators into a brittle or overly thin film that increases tear events at the worst time (transfer, aseptic assembly, or intervention work).

2. What this glove is for
  • Aseptic handling in ISO 5 / Class 100 zones (EU GMP Grade A) where product-contact risk is high.
  • Routine sterile cleaning and preparation steps (wiping equipment, benches, transfer items) where grip and durability matter.
  • Sampling, processing, and material transfer where operators need dexterity without switching glove families mid-shift.
  • Programs seeking a sterile latex alternative with lower allergy potential and no chemical accelerators.
3. Selection rationale
  • Low-allergy profile: Latex-free and accelerator-free to reduce Type I/Type IV sensitivity concerns in long-wear sterile operations.
  • Barrier confidence: AQL 0.65 supports lower pinhole defect risk in critical handling steps.
  • Controlled grip: Textured fingertips help maintain secure handling of sterile packaging, components, and transfer items.
  • Donning stability: Beaded cuff with SUREFIT™ technology is designed to reduce cuff roll-down and improve fit stability.
  • Inner comfort + consistency: Polymer-coated interior (DERMASHIELD™ technology) supports controlled donning and reduces sticking during changes.
  • Intervention-ready option: Chemo-tested to ASTM D6978 for facilities that evaluate cytotoxic-handling risk scenarios (facility-defined).
SOSCleanroom selection philosophy
SOSCleanroom supports customers who need dependable, best-in-class cleanroom consumables. In critical environments, we do not recommend “good enough” substitutes when process risk, product integrity, and compliance expectations are on the line.
4. Materials and construction
  • Material: Neoprene (Polychloroprene)
  • Color: Green
  • Shape: Anatomic with curved fingers
  • Cuff: Beaded with SUREFIT™ technology
  • External surface: Textured fingertip
  • Internal surface: Polymer coated with DERMASHIELD™ technology
  • Powder content: Powder-free
5. Specifications in context

In ISO 5 operations, glove specs are not marketing details—they are operational controls. Length affects gown-to-glove overlap, thickness influences tear resistance and tactile feedback, and AQL is a practical indicator for barrier confidence when the glove is the closest layer to product. Use these values to align change-out triggers, double-donning strategy, and wipe-down frequency to your facility program.

Specification Value Operational meaning
Cleanroom class Class 100 / ISO 5 & EU GMP Grade A Designed for high-sensitivity aseptic work where particulate and defect control is treated as a primary risk lever.
Sterility Sterile; Gamma irradiation (25 kGy) Supports sterile transfer and point-of-use handling where sterile presentation and packaging integrity matter.
Freedom from holes 0.65 AQL Lower AQL targets reduce pinhole risk and support stronger barrier confidence in critical manipulations.
Length 300 mm / 12 in Helps maintain gown overlap at the wrist/forearm and reduces exposed interface risk during reaching and rotations.
Thickness targets Palm 0.18 mm (7.08 mil); Finger 0.20 mm (7.87 mil); Cuff 0.15 mm (5.90 mil) Balances dexterity with durability; finger thickness is often the difference between “works in training” and “holds up in production.”
Tensile (before aging) 17 MPa A durability indicator tied to tear resistance and stretch behavior during donning and interventions.
Force at break (before aging) 9 N Additional durability signal; helps inform glove selection when operators frequently snag on fixtures or hardware edges.
Tested for chemotherapy drugs Yes (ASTM D6978) Useful for facilities that evaluate cytotoxic exposure scenarios; confirm your drug list, dwell times, and PPE program requirements.
Anti-static No If ESD control is required, define ionization and grounding strategy and evaluate an ESD-rated sterile glove option.
Country of origin Sri Lanka Useful for supply chain documentation and internal sourcing requirements.
Shelf life 5 years Supports inventory planning; rotate stock and verify lot/expiry at point-of-use per SOP.
6. Cleanliness metrics

Cleanliness metrics are the bridge between “sterile” and “behaves well in ISO 5.” For gloves, particle release and defect control are the two numbers that most often show up indirectly in investigations: visible particles on critical surfaces, recurring interventions, or unexplained contamination events.

Metric Value Method / reference
Typical particle count ≥ 0.5 µm < 3500 counts / cm² IEST-RP-CC005.4
Freedom from holes 0.65 AQL EN 455-1 / ASTM D3577

Note: Particle metrics are most meaningful when paired with correct donning technique and a glove-handling discipline that avoids “micro-shedding” events (snapping cuffs, over-stretching, or fast dry rubbing on packaging).

7. Packaging, sterility, and traceability
  • Case configuration: 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
  • Sterilization method: Gamma irradiation (25 kGy)
  • Available sizes: 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0
  • Shelf life: 5 years
8. Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer
This guidance is provided as a suggested starting point for customer SOP development and operator training. Every cleanroom and process is different. Customers must evaluate risk, validate procedures, and obtain appropriate QA/ES approval before implementation. Always follow your facility gowning and aseptic technique requirements and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
  • Stage with intent: Present inner packs in the order of use and avoid “extra handling” that drives glove-to-glove contact and particle transfer.
  • Donning without particle events: Control cuff opening (no snapping), don slowly, and use the polymer-coated interior to reduce tugging and over-stretching.
  • Sanitization (facility-defined): If glove sanitization is part of your program, use sterile alcohol and define wet-contact expectations and reapplication triggers per SOP.
  • Double-donning: Commonly evaluated when intervention steps or frequent wipe-downs increase tear risk. Define inner/outer glove roles and change cadence.
  • Change-out triggers: Treat any tear, puncture, cuff roll-down, sticky residue buildup, or suspected contact with non-qualified surfaces as an immediate change-out event.
Suggested pairings: wipers, swabs, and solutions for sterile glove workflows
In ISO 5 work, glove performance is only part of the outcome. Consistency improves when teams standardize the “glove + wiping + detailing + solution” set so operators are not improvising at point-of-use.

Guardrail: Confirm solution compatibility with your surfaces and your facility SOPs (wet-contact time, reapplication triggers, and glove change-out triggers).
9. Common failure modes
  • Cuff roll-down or loose wrist interface: Often traced to fast donning, incorrect sizing, or excessive stretching during gown interface adjustments.
  • Tear events at fingertips: Common during frequent handling of rigid packaging edges, hardware corners, or repeated “dry rubbing” while repositioning.
  • Loss of grip during wipe-down: Typically driven by over-wetting, wrong wipe material for the soil type, or residue transfer that creates a lubricated film.
  • Contamination transfer from packaging handling: Occurs when inner packs are over-handled, stacked, or passed between operators without a defined sterile presentation method.
  • Program drift (inconsistent change-outs): Glove change cadence varies by operator unless the facility defines triggers tied to interventions, wipe-down cycles, and time-in-zone.
10. Other gloves to consider

These alternatives are commonly evaluated in sterile ISO 5 decision sets. Selection should be driven by allergy profile, tactile needs, and the intervention model defined in your facility procedures.

11. Program fit for regulated cleanrooms
  • ISO 5 / EU GMP Grade A alignment: Sterile, ISO 5-class glove intended for aseptic work where operator touch is a primary contamination-control point.
  • Allergy-management programs: Latex-free and accelerator-free design supports facilities reducing sensitization risk across long-wear shifts.
  • Traceability discipline: Lot-coded sterile packaging and defined case configuration support QA review, investigations, and controlled inventory systems.
  • Intervention-heavy operations: Built for real handling work (textured fingertips, stable cuff) where glove performance must remain consistent through repeated wipe-down and manipulation cycles.
