The glove used   was  the  one  of   simple  latex. The /re q uency oi allergic reactions went superior to lound them in literature1    being the tale the main  agen tThe results  suggest  that the integrity and the allergic reactions depend more on the quality oi the glo ves and conditions of the surgery, that of the type of gloves . The fact of those results not always they have coincided with the one of the researched hterature suggest that the evaluation of  the gloves should not  /iinit  you  just  test1 but to also consider the individual perception oi the ones that uses them.
