Kimberly-Clark Kimtech (11821) Pure G3 Sterile Sterling Nitrile Gloves (Size 6)

Kimtech™ Pure G3 Sterile STERLING™ nitrile gloves are engineered for sterile, residue-sensitive work where the glove must protect the technician while also minimizing contamination contribution to the process. This hand-specific, gamma-irradiated nitrile design is positioned for ISO Class 3 and higher cleanrooms and is packaged to support aseptic donning and controlled transfer into critical zones.

For operators who need “latex-like” tactile feedback without natural rubber latex, this thin-gauge nitrile platform balances dexterity and tear resistance, with published cleanliness and endotoxin limits to support risk-based contamination control strategies.

• Aseptic processing and sterile handling where sterile PPE transfer, packaging integrity, and lot traceability are part of the contamination control strategy (CCS).
• Sterile compounding, cleanroom pharmacies, and controlled environments where double-don capability and consistent donning discipline reduce excursions.
• Medical device and life science workflows where technicians need tactile sensitivity for fine manipulation and repeatable grip on tools, components, and packaging.
• Clean manufacturing steps where published particle and endotoxin limits help teams plan qualification, set incoming inspection expectations, and standardize glove selection by zone.

• Sterilized by gamma irradiation and validated to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137.
• Hand-specific geometry with a beaded cuff and textured palm / palm-side fingertips to support controlled handling and reduce slip events during wet work.
• Silicone-free, powder-free, latex-free nitrile polymer (Acrylonitrile Butadiene) to reduce hidden residue variables in sensitive processes.
• Published cleanliness limits (particles and endotoxin) to support qualification conversations and audit-ready documentation packages.
• Packaged for aseptic donning (pair walleted/pouched) and configured for clean transfer: 30 pairs per double bag, 10 double bags per case (300 pairs per case).

Note: Glove selection should be matched to your validated process needs (chemical contact profile, task duration, sterilization transfer method, and zone classification). If your application requires specific breakthrough data or permeation performance, incorporate the manufacturer’s technical packet into your documented risk assessment.

In practice, most contamination control programs use these published limits to set incoming qualification expectations, then rely on lot documentation (COA/COI, labels, and packaging integrity checks) as part of ongoing control.

SOP suggestion disclaimer: This guidance is provided as an educational template. Your facility is responsible for validating gowning, disinfection, and glove-change frequencies based on your processes, cleanroom classification, and quality system.

Kimtech™ has long been positioned for laboratory and cleanroom consumables where contamination control and worker protection must coexist. In 2024, Ansell completed the acquisition of Kimberly-Clark’s Personal Protective Equipment business, bringing Kimtech™, KleenGuard™, and the RightCycle™ program under the Ansell protection-solutions umbrella. For cleanrooms, that matters because glove performance is only half the story — continuity of supply, documentation consistency, and change management discipline are what keep validated processes stable over time.

SOSCleanroom’s philosophy is straightforward: critical environments cannot be compromised. We prioritize best-in-class PPE programs that support audit-ready documentation, repeatable technician practice, and reliable availability for scheduled production and compounding.
