Alleviate allergic contact dermatitis with skin-friendly, latex-free gloves

Latex sensitivity is a major concern in the healthcare industry. In addition to a Type I latex allergy, healthcare workers also experience the Type IV chemical allergy of Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Healthcare facilities are increasingly switching to latex-free and skin friendlier non-latex gloves with biologically safer chemical accelerators. These alternatives offer better fit, comfort, and safety, with reduced risk of ACD. Beyond health benefits, the move also cuts long-term costs by mitigating legal liabilities and procedural expenses, promoting safety and boosting productivity.
