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.
