Medik Sheild Polyisoprene Surgical Gloves Non Latex Powder Free
Made from 100% synthetic polyisoprene, these gloves provide performance characteristics comparable to natural rubber latex, including excellent elasticity, softness, and comfort. Polyisoprene has a molecular structure that closely mimics natural rubber, resulting in a natural fit and superior tactile sensitivity.
Unlike natural latex, synthetic polyisoprene does not contain natural rubber proteins that are responsible for Type I latex allergies. As a result, polyisoprene gloves are often regarded as “latex-like” gloves, offering the benefits of latex performance while significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Info
Made from 100% synthetic polyisoprene which provide similar properties to latex (natural rubber). Polyisoprene has a molecular structure that is very similar to natural rubber.
Polyisoprene is regarded as a "latex" glove without the harmful protein found in latex which is responsible for latex allergies.
