Fluid resistance, measured by ASTM levels or mm Hg ratings, is essential for protecting against splashes and sprays of bodily fluids or chemicals. Higher ASTM levels (Level 1: low, Level 2: moderate, Level 3: high) offer increased protection, with Level 3 being ideal for high-risk procedures. Choosing the right level depends on your environment; for instance, Cardinal Health AT73035 offers Level 1 protection for low fluid exposure, while Medline NON24506A provides Level 3 for maximum resistance. Having different levels available lets you select the appropriate balance of comfort and safety for your needs.
