Chemotherapy Tested Nitrile Exam Gloves
When administering chemotherapy drugs or handling hazardous compounds, standard examination gloves are not enough. You need specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that has been verified to resist the permeation of aggressive chemicals. At Overstock Gloves, we provide Medical-Grade Nitrile Gloves that are rigorously tested to meet the industry's highest safety standards for handling antineoplastic agents.
Verified Protection: ASTM D6978 Compliance
Safety in oncology and compounding environments relies on data, not just claims. Our chemotherapy gloves are tested against ASTM D6978, the standard practice for assessment of resistance of medical gloves to permeation by chemotherapy drugs.
-
Stricter Testing: ASTM D6978 is significantly more rigorous than standard chemical resistance testing. It specifically measures how long the glove material resists breakthrough against a battery of potent chemotherapy drugs.
-
Peace of Mind: When you see the ASTM D6978 designation, you know the glove has been proven to protect healthcare professionals from exposure to hazardous medications during preparation and administration.
Why Choose 7 Mil Nitrile for Chemo?
While standard blue nitrile gloves are common in general hospital wards, high-risk procedures require a stronger, more durable barrier.
-
Heavy-Duty Barrier: At 7 Mil thickness, our gloves offer nearly double the thickness of a standard medical glove (usually 3-4 Mil). This extra layer provides critical protection against tears, snags, and incidental exposure in high-stress environments.
-
Not Made with Natural Rubber Latex: These gloves are not made with natural rubber latex, eliminating the risk of Type I allergies for both the healthcare provider and the immunologically compromised patient.
-
Tactile Sensitivity: Despite their heavy-duty thickness, our nitrile formulation warms to your body temperature, providing a custom fit that allows for the precise dexterity needed when handling needles, IV lines, and packaging.
Professional Appearance & Contrast
Our Black Nitrile Chemotherapy Gloves provide a professional aesthetic that is increasingly popular in modern medical settings. The dark color helps mask stains while providing high contrast against light-colored powders or clear fluids, making it easier to spot potential contamination immediately.
