Ansell MICROFLEX® Supreno® EC SEC-375 Nitrile Exam Gloves — Extended Cuff, High-Risk Barrier Protection

MICROFLEX® Supreno® EC (SEC-375) is a high-risk, durable nitrile medical exam glove engineered for tougher clinical, lab, and “hands-on” tasks where barrier integrity and cuff coverage matter. Ansell positions SEC-375 around robustness (resistance to rips/snags/tears), an extended cuff for added wrist/forearm coverage, and a low AQL (0.65) to reinforce barrier confidence. The glove is textured at the fingers for grip and is tested/approved for use with chemotherapy drugs (see product packaging for specific drug list/details per manufacturer).

Ansell builds the MICROFLEX® platform around real-world protection problems: barrier integrity, task durability, and practical coverage where wrists and lower forearms are routinely exposed. SEC-375 is positioned specifically as a “high-risk” nitrile exam glove with an extended cuff and chemotherapy-handling approval (per manufacturer documentation).

SOSCleanroom continuity note: As Ansell integrates the Kimtech™ and KleenGuard™ PPE portfolio, SOSCleanroom is aligning selection guidance across the full PPE stack (gloves, garments, and eye/face protection) so customers can standardize PPE performance, documentation expectations, and replenishment across cleanroom, lab, and industrial workflows.

• Durable nitrile formulation designed to resist rips, snags, and tears (manufacturer positioning)
• Extended cuff for added wrist/forearm coverage
• Low AQL (0.65) for strengthened barrier confidence
• Textured fingers for grip during handling tasks
• Tested and approved for use with chemotherapy drugs (see product packaging for details)
• NFPA 1999:2018 Emergency Medical Glove Requirements referenced by manufacturer

• Barrier-first reliability: Low AQL and high-risk positioning support programs that cannot tolerate “maybe” performance.
• Coverage where exposure happens: Extended cuff helps reduce the “gap zone” at wrist/forearm during active work.
• Grip without drama: Textured fingers support control on tools, vials, packaging, and instrument surfaces.
• High-risk task fit: Manufacturer references chemotherapy handling approval and NFPA 1999 suitability for demanding clinical/lab use.

• Higher-risk clinical applications and drug handling (per site SOP)
• Laboratory sample taking and processing
• Equipment maintenance, assembly/inspection, and general handling tasks
• Life-sciences workflows that prefer a tougher nitrile exam glove with added cuff coverage

• Don clean hands, then check: Wash/dry hands, then inspect gloves for tears or defects before entry into higher-control areas.
• Avoid “snap donning”: Pull on with controlled motion to reduce aerosolized particles and prevent cuff roll-back.
• Manage the wrist seal: If you are wearing sleeves/gowns, ensure the glove cuff overlaps correctly per your gowning SOP.
• Change-out discipline: Replace immediately if damaged; for high-risk tasks, define change frequency by risk assessment and SOP (do not improvise).
• Compatibility confirmation: Validate glove compatibility with chemicals/disinfectants used in your process (especially repeated exposure scenarios).

• Need more cuff coverage? SEC-375 is designed around an extended cuff and high-risk positioning.
• Need a lighter exam glove? Consider alternative MICROFLEX® exam options when dexterity and reduced thickness are higher priority.
• Need sterile cleanroom documentation? Move to a glove that is explicitly processed/packaged/sterilized for cleanroom aseptic programs.
