What are latex allergies and how do I know if I have one from my gloves?
Latex allergies can cause a non-allergic reaction, which is an irritation or allergic reactions, including Type IV and in severe cases Type I allergies. These reactions can range from itching, burning, peeling, extreme dry and cracked skin to hives, asthma, low blood pressure and difficulty breathing. Extreme cases can even be potentially life threatening causing anaphylactic shock.
If I have a latex allergy what gloves should I wear?
You should not wear any latex exam gloves and make are that your co-workers do not wear powdered latex gloves; the powder can make the latex proteins go airborne which could trigger your latex allergy. You should wear non-latex gloves, such as our synthetic exam gloves, vinyl exam gloves and our Nitrile exam gloves.
What is the best way to store gloves?
Exam gloves should be stored in the initial box. The storage area should be dry, cool and ventilated area. Your exam gloves should not be stored near direct sunlight, moisture, X-rays or extreme heat.
What does AQL mean and how does it relate to gloves?
AQL is the Acceptable Quality Level; which is a quality specification that manufacturers, as well as the FDA use to specify the pinhole rate in medical examination gloves. According to the FDA, they specify an AQL of 2.5 for the medical examination gloves. This means that the defect level from a large number of gloves will not be more than 2.5%.
What is tensile strength?
The tensile strength of a glove is the measurement of the amount of force or pull required to break any examination glove.
What type of powder is on the exam gloves?
We have absorbable dusting powder on our gloves which it is made of edible modified USP cornstarch (USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia). This means that it is pharmaceutical grade and considered absolutely pure.
What is the chlorination process in the manufacturing of exam grade gloves?
The chlorination process removes powder from the exam gloves and breaks down the latex protein as well as chemical residue on the glove’s exterior. Then, through the numerous washing and leaching processes that the disposable gloves go through, the proteins and the chemicals are further condensed to fabricate the gloves.
