⚠ Chemotherapy Note: Confiderm 4.5C gloves have been tested for use with chemotherapy drugs per ASTM F739-99a. However, gloves used for protection against chemotherapy drug exposure must be selected specifically for the type of drugs being used. Consult your facility's chemotherapy handling protocols before selecting gloves for oncology applications.
Features & Benefits
- Chemo Tested — ASTM F739-99a — Tested for resistance to chemotherapy drug permeation, making Confiderm 4.5C appropriate for oncology settings, chemotherapy preparation and administration, and facilities requiring documented chemo glove standards. Note: glove selection for chemotherapy must be based on the specific drugs in use.
- Powder-Free — Eliminates the contamination, allergy, and patient sensitivity risks associated with powdered gloves — required in most clinical and surgical environments and preferred for all patient care applications
- Latex-Free — Not made with natural rubber latex — safe for patients and clinicians with latex sensitivity or allergy, and compliant with latex-free facility protocols
- Textured Fingertips — Micro-textured surface at the fingertips enhances grip on wet, dry, and slippery surfaces — improving tactile sensitivity during examination, wound care, IV placement, and fine motor clinical tasks
- Beaded Cuff — Rolled beaded cuff at the wrist prevents the glove from rolling down during use and helps prevent fluid splashing or running inside the glove during clinical procedures
- 6 Mil Fingertip Thickness — 0.15 mm at the fingertip provides the barrier protection of a clinical-grade exam glove while maintaining the sensitivity required for detailed procedural work
- Ambidextrous — Fits either hand — simplifies donning, reduces waste, and speeds up glove changes in high-volume clinical environments
- 9-Inch Length — Standard exam glove length providing wrist coverage appropriate for clinical examination and patient care procedures
- Single Use — Designed for single-use disposal — supports infection control protocols and prevents cross-contamination between patients or procedures
- Five Sizes — XS through XL covers the full range of hand sizes across clinical teams — a single SKU family for entire department ordering

Sizing Guide
| Size | Hand Circumference (at widest point) | Typical Fit |
|---|---|---|

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Confiderm 4.5C gloves approved for chemotherapy use?
Confiderm 4.5C gloves have been tested for use with chemotherapy drugs per ASTM F739-99a. However, chemo glove selection must be based on the specific drugs being handled — no single glove is rated for all chemotherapy agents. Consult your facility's oncology pharmacy or safety officer to confirm appropriateness for your specific drug protocols before use.
What does "4.5C" mean in the product name?
The "4.5" refers to the glove's nominal thickness in mils (approximately 4.5 mil at the palm), and "C" designates the chemo-tested designation — indicating this glove has undergone chemotherapy permeation testing per ASTM standards. It distinguishes this model from McKesson's standard Confiderm nitrile line.
Are these gloves sterile?
No — Confiderm 4.5C gloves are non-sterile exam gloves. They are appropriate for non-sterile examination and patient care procedures. For procedures requiring sterile technique, use a sterile surgical glove.
Can these be used for food handling?
These are medical examination gloves. While nitrile gloves are commonly used in food service, confirm food-contact compliance with applicable local and facility regulations before use in food preparation settings.
Are Confiderm 4.5C gloves sold by the box or case?
Both — available as a single box of 100 gloves or by the case of 1,000 gloves (10 boxes). Case pricing provides the best per-glove value for high-volume clinical, facility, and home health use.
What is the difference between Confiderm 4.5C and standard Confiderm nitrile gloves?
The 4.5C adds chemotherapy permeation testing per ASTM F739-99a to the standard Confiderm nitrile platform — making it the appropriate choice for oncology environments and any setting where documented chemo resistance is required. Standard Confiderm gloves are not chemo tested.
