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.

Class 100 / ISO 5 Sterile (Gamma 25 kGy) Neoprene / Polychloroprene Latex-Free Accelerator-Free AQL 0.65 ASTM D6978 Chemo-Tested

Ansell DERMASHIELD™ 73-711: sterile neoprene cleanroom gloves for ISO 5 environments, latex-free protection, and controlled aseptic handling

Ansell DERMASHIELD™ 73-711 is a sterile, powder-free neoprene (polychloroprene) cleanroom glove designed for Class 100 / ISO Class 5 controlled environments. Its latex-free, accelerator-free formulation supports facilities managing natural rubber latex and chemical accelerator exposure concerns while maintaining the dexterity, grip, and barrier characteristics required for critical handling operations.

The glove features textured fingertips, an anatomical design with curved fingers, DERMASHIELD™ polymer-coated interior, and SUREFIT™ cuff technology. Gamma sterilization and controlled packaging support sterile gowning and material introduction procedures in aseptic environments.

Operations takeaway: DERMASHIELD™ 73-711 combines ISO 5 sterile cleanroom positioning, AQL 0.65 barrier quality, 300 mm length, and latex-free, accelerator-free construction. Its textured fingertips and beaded SUREFIT™ cuff support handling control and stable gown interfaces during routine interventions.

Chemotherapy handling consideration: DERMASHIELD™ 73-711 is identified as tested for use with chemotherapy drugs under ASTM D6978. Facilities must confirm permeation results for the specific drugs and exposure conditions involved. Testing does not establish universal protection against all chemotherapy agents.


ISO-first context: glove selection in critical cleanroom operations

ISO 14644 cleanroom operations require documented controls for personnel gowning, material transfer, cleaning, and operator behavior. In ISO 5 and other critical environments, gloves become an important contact surface between personnel, sterile materials, packaging, process equipment, and product-adjacent components.

  • Sterile processing: Gamma-sterilized gloves support aseptic handling when used within approved gowning and material-transfer procedures.
  • Particle control: Cleanroom-compatible materials and controlled glove handling help reduce contamination introduced during routine tasks.
  • Operator dexterity: Anatomically shaped fingers support repetitive manipulation of small components and sterile packaging.
  • Cuff stability: SUREFIT™ technology is designed to help maintain glove positioning and reduce cuff roll-down.
  • Exposure management: Latex-free and accelerator-free construction offers an alternative for facilities managing relevant glove-material sensitivities.

Control point: Sterile gloves can become contaminated during donning, interventions, or contact with non-controlled surfaces. Proper staging, disinfection where required, and glove-change procedures remain essential after sterile packaging is opened.
