Procedure Gown for use with Chemotherapy Drugs

In permeability tests with the seven chemotherapy drugs required by ASTM Test Method F 739 standards, plus three additional widely used chemo drugs,¹ the Halyard Health Procedure Cover-Up Gown tested for use with chemotherapy drugs sustained no breakthrough after four hours of continuous contact with all ten drugs. These results exceed recommended industry guidelines for duration of gown usage.

The Halyard Health Procedure Cover-Up Gown tested for use with chemotherapy drugs also meets liquid barrier performance standards, including penetration by blood (ASTM F 1670) and blood-borne pathogens (ASTM F 1671). And it offers the highest level of protection against flammability, meeting the Class I requirements of the National Fire Protection Association Test Method 702-1980.
