An assessment is made based on the permeation (breakthrough) of nine chemotherapy drugs through the glove material over a certain period of time.1.2 It is emphasized that the conditions used in this assessment are intended to approximate the worst-case condition for clinical uses. The data should be restricted to use on a relative basis when comparing glove materials.This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
