The ASTM D5250-19 standard, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), includes test methods for evaluating the performance and safety of poly (vinyl chloride) gloves used in medical examinations and diagnostic and treatment procedures. This standard also covers poly (vinyl chloride) gloves used in the handling of contaminated medical equipment. The full name of this standard is as follows: ASTM D5250-19 Standard specification for poly (vinyl chloride) gloves for medical application.
This standard includes both hand-fitting gloves, double gloves and poly (vinyl chloride) gloves. It also includes packaged sterile or non-sterile or bulk non-sterile poly (vinyl chloride) gloves. However, two dimensional heat-sealed poly (vinyl chloride) gloves are not covered by this standard. This specification is similar to the D3578 specification for rubber examination gloves (ASTM D3578-19 Standard specification for rubber examination gloves).
The ASTM D5250-19 standard is designed as a peer review procedure for evaluating the performance and safety of poly (vinyl chloride) examination gloves. Safe and proper use of poly (vinyl chloride) examination gloves is beyond the scope of this standard.
Briefly, this standard includes procedures for evaluating the performance and safety of poly (vinyl chloride) gloves in medical examinations, diagnostic and treatment procedures, and the use of contaminated medical supplies.
During the tests, a lubricant approved for absorbable dust can be applied to the gloves. Other lubricants can be used provided their safety and effectiveness have been predetermined. There should be no talc on both the inner and outer surfaces of the glove.
In advanced laboratories, sterility, non-perforation, physical requirements before and after aging, amount of powder on the glove, tensile strength and final elongation tests are performed for these gloves.
The main advantages of polyvinyl chloride materials are low cost, very good physical properties and moderate chemical resistance. However, there are some disadvantages. has. For example, plasticizers can be peeled off and be of poor quality.
