Reduced concentrations of chemical accelerators that are known to be potential sensitizers.
	These latex gloves contain 50 micrograms or less of total water-extractable protein per gram. Caution: Safe use of this glove by or on latex sensitized individuals has not been established.
	Exceed ASTM requirements for freedom from holes.
	Breakthrough time of glutaraldehyde 3.56 hours using a modification of ASTM F1407-96.
	Full 12" length for added protection.
	8.7 mil average finger thickness.
	Excellent grip properties for handling instruments.
	Patented Triflex® mold design with tapered fingers.
	Tapered cuff prevents rolldown and helps glove stay in place.
	Packaged in smaller, easy to open Cardinal Health pack.

1. How should natural rubber latex gloves be stored?
These gloves should be stored away from high heat, humidity and direct light. Do not store near heaters, air conditioners, sterilizers, X-ray units or fluorescent lights or in areas exposed to ultraviolet light or sunlight.

2. Where are your latex gloves tested for proteins?
Cardinal Health does routine process monitoring of protein levels on all our latex gloves. Additionally, glove samples are routinely sent to UCLA School of Medicine, Division of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, for protein testing.

3. Are your gloves 100% inspected for defects?
Gloves manufactured by Cardinal Health are 100% visually inspected for defects. In addition, all glove lots are statistically sampled and tested for barrier integrity.

4. What’s the difference between latex protein sensitivity and chemical sensitivity?
Some individuals may be sensitive to either the chemicals used in the manufacturing of latex gloves or the protein allergens in natural rubber latex. Certain chemical accelerators are necessary in order to produce a glove with the desired physical performance characteristics such as strength, comfort and elongation. These chemical sensitivities may be manifested as irritations, contact dermatitis or allergic reactions defined as either Type IV or a Type I hypersensitivity. However, very few skin reactions are true latex allergic reactions. In fact, most skin reactions are actually irritations, and both irritations and allergies can be managed by improved hand care and appropriate gloving practices.
