Frequently Asked Questions

What is ASTM D6978 and why does it matter for chemotherapy gloves?

ASTM D6978 is the testing standard that measures glove material permeation resistance against a defined panel of chemotherapy drugs - including doxorubicin, paclitaxel, cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil, and others. Only gloves that pass this specific test can be labeled as chemotherapy-rated. The test cannot be replaced by thickness claims, brand reputation, or general nitrile specifications. This certification is the legally and clinically meaningful standard under USP <800>.

Who is required to wear ASTM D6978-rated gloves?

Per USP Chapter <800> (Hazardous Drugs - Handling in Healthcare Settings), all personnel who handle hazardous drugs must wear ASTM D6978-compliant gloves. This includes:
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians compounding antineoplastic agents
Nurses and clinicians preparing or administering IV chemotherapy
Staff handling hazardous drug waste, empty vials, or contaminated linens
Cleaning staff decontaminating compounding areas
USP <800> has been enforced as standard of practice at most US healthcare institutions since its adoption.

Is double-gloving required for chemotherapy handling?

USP <800> requires double gloving during compounding of hazardous drugs in a biological safety cabinet or isolator. For administration tasks, single ASTM D6978-rated gloving may be acceptable depending on the facility's risk assessment - but many facilities standardize on double gloving for all direct drug contact as a conservative practice. Both inner and outer gloves must be ASTM D6978-rated.

How often should chemotherapy gloves be changed during a compounding session?

USP <800> recommends changing gloves every 30 minutes during continuous compounding or immediately upon tearing, puncture, or visible contamination. Gloves must also be changed between different drug preparations and before leaving the compounding area. Document glove change frequency in your SOP.

What thickness is recommended for chemotherapy nitrile gloves?

For most compounding tasks: 6-8 mil provides a strong balance of chemical protection and dexterity. For spill cleanup and waste handling: 8+ mil is preferred. For administration-only tasks where dexterity is critical: thinner chemo-rated gloves may be appropriate, but ASTM D6978 certification must still be confirmed regardless of thickness.

Can standard nitrile exam gloves (thick ones) substitute for chemo-rated gloves?

No. A 6-mil or 8-mil standard nitrile exam glove has not been tested to ASTM D6978 and provides no validated barrier against chemotherapy drug permeation. Thickness alone is not a reliable indicator. USP <800> and most state board of pharmacy regulations explicitly require ASTM D6978-certified gloves - a thick-but-uncertified glove is non-compliant.

Are chemotherapy gloves available in case quantities for hospital pharmacies?

Yes. MAP Medical supplies ASTM D6978-rated chemo gloves in case quantities for hospital pharmacies, oncology infusion centers, 503A/503B compounding facilities, and outpatient chemotherapy programs. Active compounding environments may change gloves 60-100+ times per shift, making case-level purchasing standard. Contact our team for volume pricing.
