Why Latex?
A latex glove is made from natural rubber latex and is a processed plant product. Latex gloves are the most flexible and resilient with a consistent fit. They are a great barrier protection against infection and contamination. These gloves are available in Powdered or Powder-Free, as well as Exam or General Purpose. Latex gloves can cause an allergic reaction to some users, but are very widely used.
What is the "Powdered"?
The powder on our gloves is an absorbable dusting powder used to ease the donning of gloves. The powder is actually a special cornstarch-based powder. It is officially "edible", but not particularly tasty. The fact that it is edible ensures it's suitability for close contact with our skin. It is pharmaceutical grade and considered absolutely pure. It's primary use is to aid in easy application and removal of the gloves.
