Nitrile Chemo Gloves - Selection and Compliance Guide
Products in This Subcategory
- Tronex Standard Chemo-Rated Nitrile - Blue, powder-free, 100/bx, 1000/cs. M and L available. ASTM D6978-certified. Standard workhorse chemo glove for oncology infusion and pharmacy compounding departments.
- Tronex NEW AGE Chemo-Rated Violet-Blue - Violet-blue, 250/bx, M. ASTM D6978-certified. High-count per box for busy departments - 250 gloves per box compared to standard 100, reducing restocking frequency by 60% in continuous compounding environments.
- Medgluv Chemo-Rated Nitrile - Violet-blue/natural, powder-free, 100-150/bx, 10bx/cs. ASTM D6978-certified. XS through XL size range.
- Medgluv Chemo + Fentanyl-Tested Nitrile - Natural, powder-free, 150/bx, 10bx/cs. ASTM D6978 chemo-certified AND separately tested for fentanyl permeation resistance. For oncology units that also manage Schedule II controlled substance protocols or for departments with dual requirements.
The chemo+fentanyl dual certification on the Medgluv specialty line is clinically significant for a specific and growing population of departments: oncology pain management programs that administer IV fentanyl alongside chemotherapy, hospital pharmacies that compound both hazardous drugs and controlled substance preparations, and any outpatient infusion center managing mixed drug portfolios. Carrying a single chemo-rated glove that covers both requirements simplifies the formulary and eliminates the risk of a staff member using the wrong glove type for the wrong drug class.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Medgluv chemo+fentanyl dual certification and who needs it?
The Medgluv dual-certified line has undergone ASTM D6978 permeation testing for chemotherapy agents AND separate permeation testing specifically for fentanyl. This is clinically significant for oncology pain management programs that administer IV fentanyl alongside chemotherapy, hospital pharmacies that compound both hazardous drugs and controlled substance preparations, and outpatient infusion centers managing mixed drug portfolios. Carrying a single chemo-rated glove that covers both requirements simplifies the formulary and eliminates the risk of staff using the wrong glove type for the wrong drug class.
How often should chemo-rated gloves be changed during a compounding session?
USP <800> recommends changing gloves every 30 minutes during continuous compounding, and immediately upon tearing, puncture, visible contamination, or when changing between different drug preparations. In double-gloving setups (required during compounding), both the inner and outer gloves must be ASTM D6978-rated. Document glove change frequency in your standard operating procedure for USP 800 compliance documentation.
