Latex gloves used in healthcare settings are often coated with dusting (cornstarch) powder to facilitate donning. Unfortunately, the powder can bind to allergenic latex proteins from the gloves, which can then be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Powdered latex gloves have been implicated as the largest single contributor to latex aeroallergen levels in a healthcare facility. Incidentally, all Biogel® gloves are 100% powder free.
