The MCR Safety 92721-XS CutPro A4 Polyurethane Cut-Resistant Gloves in X-Small represent MCR Safety's commitment to delivering full ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 cut protection in a precisely fitted shell for the smallest adult hand sizes in the workforce. SKU: 92721-XS uses the same 21-gauge HyperMax HPPE shell and polyurethane palm coating as the rest of the 92721 series, engineered to a Size 6 shell geometry that serves the X-Small workers disproportionately represented in electronics assembly, precision device manufacturing, and food-grade packaging operations. For safety professionals who have struggled to source a high-performing, fully certified cut-resistant glove in X-Small β a size that many manufacturers treat as an afterthought β the 92721-XS delivers the same documentation depth and performance engineering as the mid-range sizes, in a shell that actually fits.
Key Features
- ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 Cut Resistance β Full certification in the X-Small size; same standard as all other 92721 sizes
- 21-Gauge HyperMax HPPE Shell β Finest available CutPro gauge; cloth-like feel with verified cut protection
- Polyurethane Palm Coating β Thin, precise PU layer for dry grip on smooth surfaces and fine components
- X-Small Sizing β Size 6 shell; designed for the smallest adult hand dimensions rather than scaled down from a larger shell template
- Seamless Knit Interior β No interior irritants; engineered for workers on high-repetition precision lines
- Breathable Dorsal Panel β Uncoated back allows airflow and reduces heat-related discomfort during extended wear
- Minimal Bulk β X-Small profile minimizes excess shell mass; the glove moves with the hand rather than around it
- Certifications: ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 (Cut)
Detailed Description
X-Small is the most commonly understocked size in industrial PPE programs β a problem that becomes visible only when incidents occur and investigation reveals that the injured worker had been wearing a glove that was two sizes too large because the correct size was not available. The 92721-XS is MCR Safety's answer to this systemic gap: a properly engineered X-Small shell that is manufactured, certified, and stocked alongside the rest of the size range, so that procurement programs have no justification to leave their smallest-handed workers without properly fitted protection.
For the 92721-XS, the engineering implications of X-Small sizing are more significant than in mid-range sizes. A Size 6 hand has proportional finger lengths and palm dimensions that differ from a scaled-down Size 8 in ways that matter for glove fit. MCR Safety designs shell proportions from measured ergonomic data rather than linear scaling, which is why the X-Small 92721 fits correctly across all five fingers simultaneously rather than bunching at the fingertips or gaping at the palm β the two most common fit failures in poorly designed small-size gloves.
X-Small hands are most commonly found in workers who perform the most precision-intensive tasks on production lines: surface-mount component placement, fiber-optic connector handling, precision instrument calibration, and micro-scale assembly operations where the worker's ability to feel the workpiece through the glove material is a direct input to product quality. The 21-gauge HyperMax HPPE shell in the 92721-XS is thin enough to preserve this tactile channel while the certified A4 rating ensures that the same worker is protected from the lacerations and cuts that thin shells without cut-resistant fiber cannot prevent.
Applications and Use Cases
- Fiber Optics & Precision Instrument Assembly: X-Small hands are well-represented in this sector; fine-gauge shell allows the micro-manipulation that these tasks require
- SMT Electronics Assembly: Surface-mount component pick-and-place demands maximum fingertip sensitivity; 21-gauge HPPE delivers that in a certified A4 shell
- Dental & Medical Device Manufacturing: Clean PU coating and precise fit suit the assembly of small-scale medical and dental instruments and devices
- Horological (Watchmaking) Assembly: Ultra-fine watch and clock component assembly requires gloves that feel like a second skin; X-Small 21-gauge PU achieves this
- Food Portioning & Packaging Support: X-Small size fits a large segment of food-industry workers; A4 protection for light cutting and knife-proximity tasks
- Quality Assurance Tactile Inspection: X-Small workers on QA lines can use finger sensitivity for surface defect detection with full cut protection on record

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is X-Small the hardest size to find in cut-resistant gloves, and how does MCR address this?
X-Small is understocked in the market partly because manufacturers focus production on the highest-volume sizes and partly because procurement managers historically ordered by median size without measuring their full workforce. MCR Safety's commitment to offering the full XSβXXL range in the 92721 series is a deliberate response to documented safety gaps caused by sizing shortfalls. WCSafety maintains stock of the X-Small SKU alongside all other sizes, so safety managers can reliably source properly fitted protection for their smallest-handed workers without resorting to inferior fit compromises.
How does the 92721-XS perform in fiber optics handling compared to bare-hand work?
Fiber optic handling presents two distinct hazards: cuts from glass fiber shards (which can embed in skin painlessly and cause significant long-term tissue damage) and abrasion from cleaved fiber ends. The 92721-XS addresses both with its A4-rated 21-gauge HPPE shell, which prevents fiber shard penetration and blade-like fiber end contact. The PU coating provides grip on the smooth glass and plastic components used in fiber assembly without introducing contamination. Workers performing splicing, connector termination, or fiber routing operations benefit from the protection documentation the A4 certification provides while retaining the fingertip sensitivity that bare-hand work offered.
What should I do if my workforce includes both X-Small and Small hand sizes?
Stock both sizes. The fit difference between X-Small (Size 6) and Small (Size 7) is significant enough that workers at the boundary between the two sizes should be individually measured and assigned to the correct size. The cost of stocking an additional size is trivially small relative to the cost of a single cut-laceration incident or a workers' compensation claim. WCSafety makes ordering both the 92721-XS and 92721-S easy β they can be purchased in the same order with no minimum size restrictions, and both carry the same A4 certification documentation.
Is the polyurethane coating on the 92721-XS safe for use near sensitive electronic components?
Standard polyurethane coatings do not shed significant particulate under normal handling conditions and do not contain ionic contaminants that would damage typical electronic components. However, the 92721-XS is not antistatic (ESD-rated) and should not be used in ESD-controlled areas without verifying that the glove meets the facility's ESD threshold. For ESD-sensitive PCB assembly or semiconductor handling, confirm glove antistatic performance against your facility ESD program specification before use. For non-ESD electronics environments, the standard PU coating is compatible with general electronics handling.
Does WCSafety provide documentation for glove certification for procurement and compliance records?
Yes. MCR Safety provides ANSI/ISEA 105 certification documentation for the 92721 series, and WCSafety can assist customers in obtaining the appropriate product compliance documentation for their procurement and safety records. For quality management systems (ISO 9001, IATF 16949) or health and safety management systems (ISO 45001), having the certifying test report on file is standard practice. Contact WCSafety with your documentation request and order information to receive the relevant certification records for the 92721-XS.
Can I use the 92721-XS in a regulated food manufacturing environment?
The standard 92721-XS polyurethane coating is not specifically FDA-accepted for food contact β if food-contact compliance is required, the MCR Safety 9273SPU-XS (which uses an FDA-accepted PU coating) is the appropriate selection for X-Small workers in food processing environments. The 92721-XS is suited for non-food-contact applications in food facilities, such as equipment maintenance, packaging support operations at a remove from product contact zones, and general facility maintenance tasks where cut protection is needed but food contact compliance documentation is not required.
