Latex gloves: friend or foe?

As healthcare providers, CRNAs must consult with experts and have them address any of the relevant symptoms experienced in the practice of our profession. We must demand that our employer provide us with the best quality gloves/devices with acceptable barrier properties from reputable manufacturers. CRNAs should not use gloves or medical devices if they are unfamiliar with the manufacturer of the product, there is no information on the content of the product, or they do not know if the product meets federal requirements. Practice safety!
