Latex Gloves
Natural rubber latex is made from the rubber tree, Hevea Brasiliensis, originating in Brazil. In 1876 the seeds were exported to England and germinated at Kew Gardens in London. Joseph Priestly, a British chemist, named it "rubber" when he noticed that it could rub away pencil marks.
The rubber tree thrives in hot damp regions, and today, 90 percent of true rubber production takes place in the Southeast Asian countries of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
Why Choose Latex?
Latex has long been the gold standard for gloves for healthcare settings. Its consistent fit, flexibility and resilience have made it a favorite of medical professionals for decades. Its reliable performance and barrier protection against infection and contamination have made it the most trusted material on the market.
However...If you have sensitivity to Latex you should not choose this glove. The protein in latex gloves causes irritation and an allergic reaction in a significant number of people. |
