Latex-Safe Rooms

Captions available

The idea

Patients with latex allergy need a room and supplies free of latex to prevent an allergic reaction.

In practice

Many surgical departments keep a latex-free cart, and many have removed latex products altogether to protect patients with undiagnosed allergies.

Where people slip

A latex allergy noted at the time out changes what the scrub person may open.
