Single-use disposable gloves. The use of gloves as part of infection control within healthcare rose exponentially during the 1990s. There are a number of different types of gloves available. All single-use latex gloves may present a particular risk of latex allergies but the risk is reduced in gloves with lower levels of latex proteins. to finish with a shafred (system-wide) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in /usr/local/bin. Latex is found in many products used in healthcare. These products are often for single patient use, for example disposable gloves or equipment. The use and availability of powdered latex gloves has reduced due to an increased awareness of latex allergy. Now alternative materials are used, such as nitrile, to provide safe alternatives to those with a natural rubber latex allergy. Gloves containing powder (used as a lubricant) can be a problem for those with a latex allergy or asthma as it is possible for latex protein to become airborne when the gloves are removed, releasing particles into the air which can cause allergic symptoms. NRL proteins can cause type I (immediate) hypersensitivity. In addition, the products manufactured using NRL proteins contain other chemicals that can cause irritant reactions and/or type IV (delayed) hypersensitivity reactions. Typical skin and respiratory problems associated with the use of NRL single-use gloves are: The use of powder-free, low-protein latex gloves as an alternative to powdered latex gloves significantly reduces the incidence of latex allergy and latex-induced asthma, as well as the prevalence of latex-related symptoms. Powdered latex gloves should therefore not be used in the workplace

All wards and departments at GOSH now use latex-free gloves. Latex-free condoms are widely available in most chemists. NRL can be found in many products used in health and social care. It has been extensively used in the manufacture of medical gloves (non-sterile examination gloves, surgical gloves) because it is a very durable and flexible material giving wearers a high degree of dexterity, sensitivity and microbiological protection. It is also used in a range of medical devices. Powdered gloves pose an additional risk, not only to the user but also to sensitised people in the area. This is because the proteins in the NRL glove leach into the powder, which becomes airborne when the gloves are removed, leading to the potential for inhalation exposure to the NRL proteins. using low-protein, powder-free, single-use latex gloves in the workplace is unlikely to lead to new cases of latex allergy People with latex allergy should avoid products containing latex. This will prevent their symptoms getting any worse. There are many lists of products containing latex available but as a general guide, you should try to avoid:In 2008, the NHS Plus Occupational Health Clinical Effectiveness Unit, in association with the Royal College of Physicians, produced evidence based guidelines for the occupational aspects of latex allergy management.
