A chemotherapy glove is a single-use glove worn when cytotoxic drugs are compounded or administered. The permeation of chemotherapy gloves by chemotherapy drugs is tested to ASTM D6978, a permeation test run at 35 °C with a threshold of 0.01 µg/cm²/min. The glove is used for compounding doses in the pharmacy hood, for administration at the chair and for cleaning after a spill.

Single-use gloves for handling and administering cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs.
The difference is the permeation test against chemotherapy drugs: the ASTM D6978 method is used, and the result is given in a test report. Ask for the report of the range you order.
Both measure the permeation of a glove by a chemical. ASTM D6978 uses a threshold of 0.01 µg/cm²/min and tests at 35 °C; EN 16523-1 uses 1.0 µg/cm²/min and tests at 23 °C. ASTM D6978 is therefore the more sensitive of the two.

No. These are single-use gloves for staff who compound or administer cytotoxic drugs. They are not a patient treatment item, and this page makes no claim about neuropathy.
