Description
What it is. These cleanroom boot covers are the Ansell BioClean-D S-BDOB, sterile overboots made from lightweight, low-linting CleanTough fabric. Each overboot has an elasticated opening, easy tie fastenings, and a slip-resistant sole for safer footing. The style is listed for Class 10 (ISO 4) use. Ansell sells the style in a universal size, and LabPro supplies it as a case of 150 pieces, which is 75 pairs, with each pair sealed in its own polyethylene bag. Ansell makes a longer 500 mm style separately as the S-BDOB-L.
Why it matters. Footwear is one route by which dirt reaches a clean area, and an overboot adds a barrier over the shoe. Ansell designs the S-BDOB so the elasticated opening holds firmly in place while the ties make the fit adjustable. Its data sheet also describes the CleanTough fabric as static dissipative, with a charge half-decay time of 0.07 seconds, the time a surface charge takes to fall to half its starting value.
How it performs. Each pair is sterilized by gamma irradiation to a sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶, and Ansell lists a shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture. The listed standards include EN 13034:2005 with A1:2009, EN 1149-5:2018, ISO 11137-1:2006, and ASTM F739, with Category III, CE 0598, and UKCA marking. EN ISO 13688:2013 with A1:2021, the general standard for protective clothing, is also listed. Ansell notes that the overboots give partial body protection only and that its chemical permeation results describe the fabric alone.
Materials and packing. Each pair sits in a sealed inner polyethylene bag, 15 inner bags go in each sealed outer bag, and five outer bags fill a lined carton of 75 pairs. The fabric is white CleanTough with bound seams, single-needle stitching, and white ties and thread, and the material is listed as latex-free. The overboot is sterile and single-use, so each wearer starts with a fresh pair.
