Kimtech PURE* A5 Sterile Cleanroom Boots with CLEAN-DON* Technology & Grasp Ties — White (100 Pairs/Case)

Kimtech PURE* A5 Sterile Cleanroom Boots with Grasp Ties are single-use, sterile boot covers engineered for controlled environments where aseptic donning, secure fit, and packaging discipline help reduce contamination risk at the gowning boundary. Manufacturer documentation specifies breathable polypropylene SMS construction, gamma irradiation (SAL 10-6), and triple-bagged, vacuum-packaged presentation with a sterility indicator for cleanroom entry and audit support.

Cleanroom entry note: Manufacturer guidance highlights inside-out / cuffed presentation for aseptic donning and emphasizes keeping grasp ties off the floor during gowning.

About the Manufacturer:

Kimtech PURE* A5 sterile cleanroom apparel is positioned by the manufacturer for contamination control programs that require documented sterile PPE, consistent packaging, and donning techniques that reduce handling contamination. The A5 accessories range includes sterile boots with grasp ties as part of an integrated gowning system (hood/mask, sleeves, coveralls, and footwear) for controlled environments.

Key Features:
  • CLEAN-DON* / grasp-tie donning support: grasp ties help secure fit while supporting aseptic donning technique.
  • Vinyl sole / trimmed edge: helps reduce slipping risk and liquid penetration in wet or high-traffic areas (process-dependent).
  • Low-lint positioning: manufacturer references Helmke Drum test Category I for fabric used in A5 sterile apparel.
  • Packaging discipline: individually vacuum packed pairs; multi-bagged case presentation supports controlled entry practices.
  • Material comfort: breathable SMS construction designed for cloth-like wear feel vs. film-only barriers.
Benefits in Cleanroom Workflows:
  • Reduces gowning variability: standardized sterile packaging and donning method lowers “operator-to-operator” variation.
  • Supports audit readiness: sterile indicator + manufacturer certificate availability supports documentation expectations.
  • Improves boundary control: grasp ties help reduce the chance of loose footwear covers that drag or contact floors improperly.
  • Helps protect critical areas: reduces introduction of floor-borne particulate and bioburden into higher-grade zones (program-dependent).

Performance note: Published filtration/cleanliness metrics can vary by document revision and test basis. For qualification, rely on the current manufacturer certificates (CoC / irradiation) associated with your received lot and your facility’s acceptance criteria.

Donning Tip (Quick Guidance):
  • Pull one boot cover out by the cuff.
  • Grasp ties with one hand and ensure they do not touch the floor.
  • Open boot cover; point toe toward opening; pull up over calf while holding ties.
  • Hold foot up or rest on bench; wrap ties over the front of the shoe/boot, then behind ankle, and tie in front.
  • Place donned boot on the clean side and proceed with remaining gowning steps.
Related Size Options (Grasp Ties):
  • 31683: SM/MD (100 pairs/case)
  • 31696: Universal (100 pairs/case)
  • 31697: XL/2XL (100 pairs/case)

Cleanroom tip: Boots are only as effective as the gowning boundary around them. If you need help standardizing donning steps, boundary cleaning, or compatible consumables, contact SOSCleanroom.

Why boots matter: the floor is the contamination "multiplier"

Floors collect and concentrate particulate and microbial contamination. Every step can re-suspend particles, transport contamination across boundaries, and transfer residues into higher-grade zones. Sterile boot covers help reduce what footwear brings into the cleanroom — but only when gowning technique prevents ties, cuffs, and boot material from contacting the dirty side or the floor during donning.

What the manufacturer states (build + packaging discipline)
  • Material: 100% polypropylene breathable SMS.
  • Sterilization: gamma irradiation with stated SAL 10-6.
  • Packaging: triple bagged and vacuum packaged; sterility indicator included.
  • Footwear design: vinyl sole / vinyl trimmed edge and grasp ties attached at the foot.
  • Restrictions: no natural rubber latex, no silicone, no BHT preservative.
Cleanroom donning: the method is the control
Manufacturer donning technique (Grasp Ties) — minimize contact and keep ties off the floor
  1. Pull out one boot cover by the cuff.
  2. Grasp ties with one hand and ensure they do not touch the floor.
  3. Open boot cover; point toe toward opening; pull up over calf while holding ties.
  4. Hold foot up or rest on a bench; grasp ties at the front, wrap over the front of the shoe/boot, then behind the ankle, and tie in front.
  5. Place donned boot on the clean side and proceed with remaining gowning steps.

Practical control point: treat the boot cover as a "floor-contact garment." In most facilities, the cleanroom bench (dirty side / clean side) is the physical control that makes sterile footwear donning repeatable across shifts.

Standards context (ISO first, then Annex 1)
  • ISO 14644-1 provides the classification framework (particle-based) used across industries for cleanrooms and controlled environments.
  • ISO 14644-5 specifies operations control program expectations, including management of personnel, entry/exit, cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring.
  • Footwear control (boots + disciplined donning) is a practical "personnel operations" measure that supports cleanliness levels by reducing floor-borne transfer and gowning variability.

EU GMP Annex 1: For aseptic processing, gowning systems — including sterile footwear and validated gowning steps — are treated as essential controls to reduce both microbial and particulate contamination risk.

Common contamination failure modes (and how to prevent them)
  • Ties contact the floor: hold ties up and away from the dirty side; use the cleanroom bench method.
  • Standing donning on dirty flooring: convert to seated/bench donning with a clear dirty/clean split.
  • Loose fit / drag: choose correct size and tie placement; ensure the boot is secured above the ankle before tying.
  • Package breach ignored: inspect vacuum seal and sterility indicator before entry; reject compromised packs per SOP.
Selection notes (Grasp Ties vs. standard ties)
  • Choose Grasp Ties when your gowning program prioritizes aseptic donning control and secure fit with less handling variability.
  • Confirm size (SM/MD, Universal, XL/2XL) to reduce trip/drag hazards and improve seal at the ankle/calf.
  • Wet areas: vinyl sole / trimmed edge designs are intended to reduce slip and liquid penetration risk (qualification is site-specific).
SOSCleanroom note about SOP's

The Technical Vault is written to help customers make informed contamination-control decisions and improve day-to-day handling technique. It is not your facility's Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), batch record, or validation protocol.

If you adapt any technique guidance from this entry, treat it as a starting template. Your team should review and approve the final method, then qualify it for your specific gowning layout, boundary controls, and risk profile.
