What are "chemotherapy gloves"?
Essentially, these are gloves tested against cancer treating drugs, known as cytotoxics. Within the EU, they should be tested and certified to EN 374. The FDA currently requires testing to publish the claim that any glove is appropriate for use with chemotherapy drugs. These are normally thicker (greater than 0.10 mm) latex and nitrile examination gloves.
