1.1 This practice covers a protocol for the assessment of resistance of medical glove materials to permeation by poten-tially hazardous cancer chemotherapy drugs under conditions of continuous contact. 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 assess-ment 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.
