Binder, All hospitals use non-latex gloves. There are many suppliers. There has recently on the nursing listservs a lot of discussion about latex allergies and gloves. Even a web site has been set up for latex problems for nurses. Bob

ABMI: Ahhh, I see where you were going with the glove-thing now. <g> And just FYI, for what it's worth...I've had ABMI on my watch list since early March, when I did some initial DD on it...<s> but decided to put my $$ into AVBC instead at that time, which I've never regretted. <g> Still, been keeping an eye on it..<s> I was never able to find too much concrete on how well the caths held up...have you dug anything up?

Binder, Like Bob Sims said in response to your post, most hospitals purchase non-latex gloves. But this is for the Doctor's and Nurse's. Switching over to non-latex based catheters for arteriograms is an entirely different matter. I am NOT saying don't buy the stock. Do your own DD and make your own decision. I am saying that as a person that works in an area that sees hundreds of arteriograms a year, I have never heard of a patient having an allergic reaction to the catheter. I simply do not see a need or a demand for non-latex based arteriogram catheters. ST
