Latex continues to be the material of choice for surgical gloves because it is resealable and flexible, and it maintains the wearer's tactile sensitivity. The use of latex gloves for barrier protection may need to be reevaluated in light of the increasing number of individuals who are sensitive to latex. Hospital personnel can use low-allergen gloves or nonlatex gloves when caring for patients with known sensitivity to latex; however, only nonlatex gloves may be effectives at reducing or preventing anaphylactic reaction. Health care facilities must develop policies and procedures for dealing with latex-sensitive patients and health care workers.
乳胶仍然是手术手套的首选材料，因为它可以重新密封且具有柔韧性，并且能保持佩戴者的触觉灵敏度。鉴于对乳胶敏感的人数不断增加，可能需要重新评估使用乳胶手套进行屏障保护的情况。医院工作人员在护理已知对乳胶敏感的患者时可以使用低过敏原手套或非乳胶手套；然而，只有非乳胶手套在减少或预防过敏反应方面可能有效。医疗保健机构必须制定应对乳胶敏感患者和医护人员的政策和程序。
