Natural rubber allergy

For applications where surgical gloves provide adequate protection, if these are of natural rubber latex tlien powder-free gloves witli low/undetectable protein and allergen levels are advisable. (Alternatively the use of nitrile gloves eliminates the risk of latex allergy.)... [Pg.437]

Latex. Allergy to natural rubber latex is the second most common cause of anaphylaxis during anesthesia in the general population. In children subjected to numerous operations, particularly those suffering from spina bifida, it is the primary cause of anaphylaxis [11]. The relative frequency of allergy to latex has rapidly increased, rising from 0.5% before 1980 to 20% in France in 2002. A low rate has been reported in countries where a strategy aimed to reduce latex exposure was implemented [6]. [Pg.185]

Allergy to natural rubber latex, first reported in 1989 in the United States, is a common cause of occupational allergy for health care workers. Natural rubber is a processed plant product from the commercial rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. Latex allergens are proteins found in both raw latex and the extracts used in finished rubber products. Latex gloves are the largest single source of exposure to the protein allergens. ... [Pg.581]

Latex gloves are made of natural rubber. They are very flexible and thin and have excellent resistance against aqueous solutions, including acids and bases of modest concentration. They are not generally resistant to organic compounds. Their use over the years has decreased significantly since latex-based allergies are now more common. [Pg.433]
