With worldwide cancer rates and chemotherapy treatment increasing, there is no safe level of occupational exposure to toxic drugs to healthcare workers.1 Ansell Cytostatic Permeation Program (ACPP) is a unique dynamic permeation test that has been designed to provide you with an added in-use perspective of chemotherapy drugs permeation detection. Besides being tested to EN 16523-1 and ASTM D6978 standards that is done under static condition, Ansell has taken a step further with developing ACPP that uses controlled dynamic condition testing through our Ansell Dynamic Testing Device that mimics the everyday use in your workplace.
