	Medical gloves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Medical gloves are medical safety accessories that ensure sanitary hospital conditions by limiting patients' exposure to infectious matter.

		Powdered rubber gloves are the chief source of latex aeroallergens in hospital and clinic environments.
		The gloves then pass through leaching tanks to remove water-soluble protein and excess additives, after which the gloves are cured by vulcanization, a heat-catalyzed process in which the rubber molecules are crosslinked in the presence of sulfur-containing accelerators.
		To confirm that powdered rubber gloves were the major contributor to latex aeroallergen levels, we conducted a 52-day, prospective, multiple crossover study in a single operating room, during which either high- allergen or low-allergen gloves were used, and we monitored latex aeroallergen levels daily.

	Allergic Reactions to Latex Gloves
		The regulations pertain to gloves classified as "medical gloves," gloves used by surgeons or for patient examination.
		Be aware that the FDA interpretation of "medical" gloves is not based on the wearer's/consumer's end use of the gloves (e.g., in a lab, cleaning your house, as a food server) but on the vendor's classification of the gloves as such.
		For example, if the gloves are advertised as medical gloves in the manufacturer's or distributor's supply catalogue, then they are officially medical gloves and you should be able to find a label to warn you of latex composition.

		Latex allergies are often a consideration in the decision to switch to latex-free medical gloves.

		Made of nitrile material, both gloves are for situations with high risk and greater exposure to blood or body fluids, or for use with chemotherapy agents and harsh chemicals.

	Hospitals should use latex medical gloves with lower protein and powder levels to reduce latex sensitivity rather than ...
		America's hospitals should consider turning to latex medical gloves with lower protein and powder levels to reduce latex sensitivity rather than opting for the facilitywide use of synthetic alternatives, according to a recent article in ECRI's monthly journal Health Devices, "Lower-Protein Latex Gloves: A Way to Reduce Allergic Reactions in Hospital Staff."
		The non-profit, independent evaluator of medical devices notes that while some synthetic alternatives may cost less, latex gloves are still the most cost-effective choice when a glove offering a good level of protection is required.
		The article recommends that hospitals purchase gloves with protein levels that are as low as possible, using the protein levels printed on their labeling or the Standard Malaysian Glove (SMG) label as a guide.
