Ansell Biocln Bdsc-L Sleevecovers, 180 Pieces/Cs - 831030

Description

What it is. These cleanroom sleeves are the Ansell BioClean-D BDSC-L, non-sterile disposable sleeve covers made longer than Ansell's standard sleeves, at an average length of 480 mm. Ansell describes the extra length as added coverage over the arms. The sleeves are made from lightweight, low-linting CleanTough material, and the sleeves have elasticated arms and cuffs. An integrated thumb loop keeps the sleeve from rolling back and exposing the arm or wrist. LabPro sells the style in a universal size, packed as a case of 180 pieces.

Why it matters. The forearm is a gap where skin or clothing can meet the room, and Ansell lengthens this sleeve cover to cover more of the arm. The CleanTough fabric is static dissipative, with a charge half-decay time of 0.07 seconds, which helps where static could attract particles or disturb sensitive work. Because the sleeve cover is non-sterile, it controls particles rather than microorganisms, so pair it with sterile garments for aseptic zones.

How it performs. Ansell lists the sleeve cover in a universal long length with Class 10 / ISO 4 compatibility, and a Helmke drum test records particle shedding below 260 counts per minute at 0.5 µm. Ansell notes that for BioClean-D garments the chemical permeation results describe the fabric only. For added protection when chemotherapy drugs are handled, it recommends a sealed-seam garment such as BioClean-C worn over the coverall, and it offers a validation pack on request.

Materials and packing. The material is CleanTough, a lightweight polyethylene and non-woven polypropylene laminate. Each sealed inner polyethylene bag holds 30 sleeve covers; one inner bag goes in each sealed outer bag, and six outer bags fill a lined carton of 180 pieces. Listed applications include cleanroom, pharma, controlled environments, 503B compounding, manufacturing, and industrial use, all as single-use items. The 30-piece inner bags let a team open one bag at a time and keep the rest sealed.

Technical Specifications

Applications / Common Uses

• Cleanroom gowning. Cleanroom use is a listed application, where the low-linting CleanTough fabric limits fibers shed from the sleeve.
• Pharmaceutical and 503B compounding. Listed for pharma and 503B facilities, where extra arm coverage helps limit skin and clothing exposure to the work area.
• Controlled environments and manufacturing. Also listed for these settings, where the universal long length fits a range of wearers.
• Static-sensitive work. The static dissipative fabric, with a 0.07 second charge half-decay time, suits tasks where static could disturb parts or powders.
• Drug handling with a layered garment. Ansell recommends a sealed-seam garment such as BioClean-C over BioClean-D garments when handling chemotherapy drugs.

Storage, Handling & Shipping

The BDSC-L is supplied non-sterile and for single use, packed 30 to a sealed inner polyethylene bag, with one inner bag in each sealed outer bag. Ansell lists a shelf life of five years from the date of manufacture and asks that the sleeve covers be kept away from direct sunlight, stored in a dry place, and kept in the original packaging, away from ozone sources. Where aging or storage could affect the product, an expiry date is printed on the packaging.

• Keep the sleeve covers in their sealed inner bags until the moment of gowning.
• Use each sleeve cover once and discard it after use, following your site's waste rules.
• Follow your site's gowning procedure for the order of sleeve covers, gloves, and garments.
