Abstract
Chronic hand dermatitis in surgeons may be produced or made worse by the use of certain rubber gloves. The allergens in rubber gloves are usually mercaptobenzothiazole or tetramethylthiuram. The Elastyren Glove, which is free of such rubber chemicals, is usually well tolerated by surgeons with hand dermatitis due to rubber.Keywords
