Cut resistance is measured and standardized by various organizations, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These standards provide ratings based on the cut resistance level of the gloves:
ANSI/ISEA 105: Ranges from A1 (lowest) to A9 (highest). ISO 13997: Measures the force required to cut through the material, classified into levels A to F.
For histology, gloves with a moderate to high level of cut resistance (ANSI A3 to A5) are typically recommended to provide adequate protection.
