What it is

Kimtech™ 39371 PURE A8 Universal Shoe Covers are disposable, cleanroom-compatible footwear covers designed to reduce particulate transfer from personnel footwear into controlled environments. Built from low-lint nonwoven material with an elasticized ankle opening for consistent retention, they serve as the footwear barrier layer within gowning programs for laboratory, pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing environments. The Universal size fits most standard footwear, making this SKU practical for high-volume programs, visitor gowning, and mixed-size workforces. At 600 covers per case (300 per bag, 2 bags per case), the 39371 is the high-volume configuration within the PURE A8 shoe cover line.

Performance intent

Designed to reduce particulate migration from shoe soles into ISO-classified and contamination-controlled floor areas. Functions as a disposable outer barrier layer integrated into gowning SOPs — donned before crossing the controlled boundary and removed as part of the doffing sequence at exit. White construction supports visual identification of soiling and contamination at defined change-out points. Confirm suitability to your specific ISO classification and gowning protocol before standardizing.

Use boundary: Shoe covers reduce particulate transfer from footwear — they are not a substitute for dedicated cleanroom footwear in environments where footwear particle contribution is a primary contamination control point. Confirm your gowning SOP defines the correct footwear strategy for your ISO class.
Brand note: The Kimtech™ PPE business was acquired by Ansell from Kimberly-Clark's KCPPE division. Part numbers and configurations remain aligned with manufacturer documentation under Ansell stewardship. For validated cleanroom programs, always reference the current technical data sheet for this SKU.

Kimtech™ PURE A8 Low-Lint Nonwoven Elastic Retention Universal Size Footwear Contamination Control 600/Case
Kimtech™ 39371 PURE A8 Shoe Covers (Universal): high-volume footwear contamination control for mixed-size gowning programs

Personnel footwear is a primary particulate transport mechanism in controlled environments. As operators move between gowning zones and production areas, shoe soles redistribute contaminants across floors and into airflow pathways. The Kimtech™ 39371 PURE A8 Shoe Cover provides a disposable low-lint nonwoven outer barrier designed to reduce that transfer when integrated into a documented gowning protocol.

The Universal size fits most standard footwear, making the 39371 the practical choice for high-volume programs, visitor gowning, and mixed-size workforces where size-specific SKU management adds procurement complexity. At 600 covers per case (300 per bag, 2 bags per case), this is the high-volume configuration in the Kimtech™ PURE A8 shoe cover line — the right SKU when per-unit cost and restocking frequency drive purchasing decisions.

Operations takeaway: Shoe covers are only effective when donned before crossing the controlled boundary and replaced at defined contamination triggers. A cover applied after entering the clean zone provides no meaningful floor contamination control.

Use boundary: Shoe covers reduce particulate transfer from footwear — they are not a substitute for dedicated cleanroom footwear where footwear particle contribution is a primary contamination control point. They supplement floor cleaning programs and air management systems — they do not replace them. Confirm your gowning SOP defines the correct footwear strategy for your ISO class.
ISO 14644 operations alignment

ISO 14644-5:2025 operations control programs address personnel movement, material transfer, and cleaning systems as part of a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP). Footwear coverings function within that framework to support floor cleanliness and reduce airborne particulate redistribution from floor-level disturbance. Selection should align with your ISO classification level, air change rates, gowning room configuration, and personnel traffic flow patterns.

System perspective: Shoe covers are one layer of a floor contamination control strategy — not a standalone solution. Their effectiveness depends on gowning boundary discipline, correct don sequence, and defined replacement triggers written into the SOP.
39371 vs. 39372: Universal vs. Large/X-Large

Both SKUs use the same Kimtech™ PURE A8 low-lint nonwoven platform and elasticized ankle retention. The primary differences are size range and case volume. The 39371 Universal is the higher-volume SKU (600/case) with a one-size-fits-most fit intended for programs where mixed shoe sizes, visitor access, or procurement simplicity make a single-SKU approach preferable. The 39372 Large/X-Large is the sized variant for programs where fit precision at the ankle matters more than SKU simplicity. Confirm which configuration your gowning SOP specifies before ordering.

Corporate transition: Kimberly-Clark PPE → Ansell

The Kimtech™ and KleenGuard™ PPE portfolio was acquired by Ansell from Kimberly-Clark's KCPPE division. Product part numbers and configurations remain aligned with published manufacturer documentation. For validated cleanroom programs, always reference current technical data under Ansell stewardship.

Intended use cases
  • High-volume gowning programs where a single Universal SKU reduces size-management complexity
  • Visitor and temporary personnel gowning where dedicated cleanroom footwear is not available
  • Mixed-size workforces where per-size SKU inventory is impractical
  • Pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing environments requiring disposable footwear barriers
  • Anteroom and gowning room entry protocols where shoe covers are donned before crossing the controlled boundary
  • Maintenance, inspection, or non-routine access events requiring over-shoe protection
Best-practice use
  1. Don before crossing the boundary: Shoe covers must be applied before stepping into the controlled zone. Define the exact donning point in your gowning SOP and mark it physically in the gowning room.
  2. Seat the elastic fully: Confirm the elasticized opening encloses the full shoe perimeter and ankle. A partially seated cover can slip, expose the shoe sole, and defeat the barrier intent.
  3. Don in sequence: In full gowning programs, shoe covers are typically donned before standing from the gowning bench — confirm your SOP don sequence and train to it.
  4. Change-out triggers: Replace immediately if torn, fluid-wet, or visibly soiled, or after exiting the controlled zone. Do not re-enter with a previously worn cover.
  5. Dispose immediately: Remove and discard used covers at the doffing point per your facility waste SOP. Do not carry used covers back into clean areas.
SOP standardization tip: Most shoe cover failures are donning sequence failures — covers applied too late, seated incompletely, or reused after zone exit. Lock three variables in the written procedure: exact donning point, elastic-seated confirmation step, and single-use rule.
When 39371 shoe covers are not the right choice
  • Environments requiring dedicated cleanroom footwear: In ISO Class 5 and cleaner environments, dedicated cleanroom shoes or boots with validated particle performance are typically required — shoe covers over street shoes are not an equivalent control.
  • Fit precision is required at the ankle: Universal sizing fits most footwear but may not seat as tightly on very small or very large shoes. Specify the 39372 Large/X-Large if ankle fit consistency is a defined control point.
  • Fluid or chemical splash hazard on floors: Low-lint nonwoven shoe covers are not chemical-resistant footwear PPE. Specify appropriate chemical-resistant boot covers for floor-level chemical exposure.
  • ESD-controlled environments: Confirm ESD suitability before use in ESD-sensitive environments — standard nonwoven shoe covers are not inherently ESD-safe.
  • Reuse after zone exit: These are single-use disposable covers. Do not launder, dry, or reuse after any wear event.
Why source Kimtech™ 39371 from SOSCleanroom
  • Exact SKU + case configuration control: Ordering by part number 39371 and confirmed case pack (600/case) reduces the risk of receiving a non-equivalent substitute cover that differs in material, fit, or PURE A8 certification status.
  • Brand continuity after acquisition: Kimtech™ PPE is now under Ansell. SOSCleanroom sources the current product line under the correct successor SKUs, reducing procurement confusion during the brand transition.
  • Audit-readiness support: We help customers locate current TDS documentation and lot continuity records to support receiving qualification and audit evidence packages.
  • Consolidated procurement: Pair shoe covers with Kimtech™ lab coats, Ansell cleanroom gloves, Texwipe wipers, and other gowning and facility consumables in a single order.
