Due to reports of severe allergic reactions to medical devices
containing latex (natural rubber), the FDA advises health-care
professionals to identify latex-sensitive patients, and be
prepared to treat allergic reactions promptly. Latex is a
component of many medical devices, including surgical and
examination gloves, catheters, incubation tubes, anesthesia
masks and dental dams. Patient reaction to latex has ranged
from contact urticaria, to systemic anaphylaxis.
