Natural rubber contains a group of extractable proteins that can cause allergic reactions for many sensitive people. For this reason, we offer custom-made latex-free bands, also referred to as “synthetic bands.” 

It is highly recommended that bands that are to be used in a medical or surgical environment be latex-free.  We provide our customers with a variety of latex-free synthetic bands for use in band bags, equipment covers, drape covers and other applications involving medical apparel and equipment.

We can supply “latex-free” bands in a variety of flat lengths (up to 10 inch), cut widths, wall thicknesses and colors (+/- one shade from Pantone Color Guide).  They are manufactured from synthetic polyisoprene, and orders are accompanied by a Certificate of Conformance to your specifications.  These bands are ideal for medical, lab or educational settings where sensitivity to Latex proteins is undesirable.
