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.

Always validate glove selection in your process, including disinfectant compatibility, product-contact risk, and operator technique.
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.
