Over many years we have a number of concerns when using latex gloves due to increases in latex allergies among care workers, NRL or natural rubber latex has long been the chosen product for examination gloves because it is light, strong, and protective on a microbiological level yet offers the user sensitivity when in use.
The downside however is that a lot of health workers reported problems with allergies especially care staff with asthma and skin problems and on some occasions more serious reactions.
Our range of synthetic gloves offer a cost effective solution when deciding on a suitable alternative as they are strong and reasonably sensitive however they don’t have the same proteins that are apparent in natural latex.
A rise in the cost of production of latex have also contributed in a price increase in NRL based products where as gloves manufactured using synthetic substances are able to stay at a low price, in fact our prices start from just £2.95 ex vat for high grade medical standard gloves.
