Desco Statshield ESD Smock, Jacket with Knitted Cuffs, Blue — X-Small (73749)
Desco Statshield Smock — Jacket with Knitted Cuffs, Blue
The Desco Statshield ESD smock jacket with knitted cuffs in Blue is a static dissipative garment designed for operators working in ESD-protected areas (EPAs). The Statshield fabric provides consistent, reliable ESD protection across the garment surface, and the knitted cuffs ensure a secure, close fit at the wrist to minimize charge generation and body voltage buildup during movement. Available in XS through 4XL to fit the full range of operator sizes in electronics manufacturing, cleanroom, and ESD-controlled environments.

Key Features
- Statshield Dissipative Fabric: Consistent static dissipative performance across the garment surface — reduces body voltage and charge generation during operator movement.
- Knitted Cuffs: Secure, close-fitting cuffs at the wrist minimize charge generation at the wrist interface and help keep the garment in place during work.
- Blue Color: Easily distinguishable in the EPA — supports visual identification of properly gowned operators and color-coded garment programs.
- Full Size Range: Available XS through 4XL to accommodate all operator sizes.
- ANSI/ESD S20.20 Compliant: Meets garment requirements per ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ANSI/ESD STM2.1.
- Desco Quality: Desco is a leading manufacturer of ESD control products with decades of experience in personnel grounding and ESD garment design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Desco Statshield Blue smock and the Gray smock?
Both the Blue (73749–73772) and Gray (73775–73780) Statshield smocks use the same Statshield dissipative fabric and knitted cuff construction with identical electrical specifications. The color difference is purely for visual identification — choose based on your facility’s garment color-coding program or operator preference.
What is the difference between the knitted cuff smock and the convertible sleeve smock?
The knitted cuff smock (73749–73772 Blue, 73775–73780 Gray) has fixed knitted cuffs at the wrist. The convertible sleeve smock (74321–74325 Gray) has sleeves that can be converted between full-length and short-sleeve configurations — useful in facilities where operators alternate between tasks requiring different sleeve lengths. Choose the knitted cuff style for standard EPA use; choose the convertible sleeve style for flexibility.
Does the Desco Statshield smock need to be grounded to provide ESD protection?
ESD garments are worn over street clothes to prevent charge generation from the operator’s clothing from reaching ESD-sensitive devices. The garment itself does not need to be independently grounded in most ANSI/ESD S20.20 programs — the operator is grounded via a wrist strap or foot grounders. However, some high-reliability programs require garment grounding; consult your ESD program documentation for your specific requirements.
How should Desco Statshield smocks be laundered?
Desco recommends laundering Statshield garments per the care label instructions. Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which can deposit insulative residues on the fabric and degrade ESD performance. Garments should be periodically tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 to verify continued compliance after laundering.
Is the Desco Statshield smock compliant with ANSI/ESD S20.20?
Yes. The Statshield fabric meets garment requirements per ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ANSI/ESD STM2.1, with surface resistance in the dissipative range (10⁶ to 10⁹ Ω).
