VIEW PRODUCTS尽管近年来医护人员手套过敏的发病率因为粉外科手套的普及而有所下降,但天然乳胶过敏仍然给医院造成了巨大的风险。换用非乳胶外科手套,可避免天然乳胶导致的医护人员和患者乳胶 I 型过敏,减少接触乳胶手套造成的不良后果,如过敏反应和乳胶蛋白致敏。
医护人员乳胶敏化的发病率约为 10 - 17% (1,2) 部分外科人群的发病率更高;以儿科为例,接受多次手术或患有脊柱裂的儿童约有 50 - 55%(1,3,4) 面临乳胶敏化风险。
已敏化的医护人员继续使用或接触乳胶,过敏风险将大大增高。另外,必须意识到,部分敏化人群可能未表现出临床迹象或未意识到敏化状态,因此有出现临床过敏症状。
安思尔新一代非乳胶手套提供了与乳胶手套相同的产品,包括整形外科手套、显微外科手套和保湿手套等。 氯丁橡胶和聚异戊二烯 (PI) 材质不仅能提供必要的过敏防护,其性能和舒适性也达到甚至超过了外科人员的要求。
尽管临床证据充分证明了无乳胶环境对于初级预防的重要性,但一些医院仍然仅向已知对乳胶过敏的医护人员和患者提供非乳胶外科手套,而非全面使用非乳胶手套。这样一来,不知道自己对乳胶过敏的人群仍然可能出现意外反应。因此,完全换用非乳胶手套的医院实际上提供了一个更加安全的环境,有助于减少员工的时间和生产力损失,防止临床过敏反应给患者和医护人员造成是高昂的诊断和治疗成本。
