Résumé:

PURPOSE: The results of a study to help identify the best glove protection for health care professionals frequently exposed to cytotoxic agents are reported. METHODS: The permeation of 17 cytotoxic drugs through different glove materials and glove combinations was studied under the conditions of simulated dynamic contact (e.g., friction, stretching), a temperature of 37 °C (normal body temperature), different exposure times (30 and 60 minutes), and a 15-minute pretreatment with 70% alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. For 6 drugs, permeability was further evaluated at a temperature of 43 °C wit…
