Latex Free Gloves - Why Medical Professionals Are Switching To Them
The medical industry is vitally important to the health and well-being of billions of people all over the world. Medical professionals are responsible for taking care of patients in their office or in the emergency room. To avoid cross infection between staff and patients certain precautions are necessary and this includes the wearing of disposable gloves. In the past natural rubber latex gloves were used but an increased exposure to latex has caused many staff to develop an allergy. The occurence of this allergy has also increased in the general population.
Latex allergy has become a serious problem and more and more doctors' offices and hospitals are switching to latex free gloves. These allergies include irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis. The symptoms include the development of a rash, itchy skin, respiratory problems and some patients will even suffer shock. It has been estimated that anywhere from 5-10 percent of medical professionals have developed this allergy during their career.
The majority of latex free gloves that are available are made of vinyl or nitrile. For the most part, though, these gloves have not replaced the use of latex gloves in surgical procedures because they do not have the same degree of tactile sensitivity. Another major reason why not all hospitals or doctor offices have switched to these gloves is their cost. In an environment where everyone is trying to save money, many institutions just do not have the finances to pay for these gloves right now.
If you do not know whether you are allergic to latex, visiting an allergy doctor will help you find out. The doctor can test your body for an allergy to the material and inform you of the results.
