Powder Free Latex Gloves
Why go powder free? In many medical facilities and food prep areas, powder free gloves are the preferred choice. Sometimes they are even mandatory. This is because the powder on powdered gloves is made of cornstarch and also residual latex proteins which can pose a health threat.
The cornstarch itself may be an allergen for some people, but the real issue is that it acts as a carrier for the latex proteins. This increases the chance of an allergic reaction to the latex which includes hives and itching along with breathing problems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What are latex gloves used for?
Latex gloves are an essential safety barrier used in medical settings, food preparation, and various industries. They protect against infectious diseases, medical waste, and cross-contamination between patients or materials.

Powder-free gloves are often preferred (and sometimes mandatory) in medical and food facilities because the cornstarch powder in other gloves can carry latex proteins. Eliminating the powder reduces the risk of allergic reactions and respiratory issues.

Yes. High-quality latex gloves provide a reliable barrier against infectious diseases and pathogens, making them a standard choice for preventing cross-contamination in healthcare environments.
4. Are your latex gloves suitable for medical exams?
Absolutely. Our medical exam latex gloves are produced in highly regulated facilities and are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the durability and quality standards required for sensitive medical procedures.
5. What is the risk of powdered latex gloves?
The powder used in some gloves acts as a carrier for residual latex proteins. This can increase the chance of allergic reactions, such as hives, itching, or breathing problems, for both the wearer and the patient.
