What Are the Challenges in Implementing Latex-Free Environments?
Implementing a latex-free environment comes with several challenges, including the initial cost of transitioning to latex-free products, educating staff about the importance of latex-free alternatives, and ensuring that all hospital departments comply with latex-free policies. Another challenge is the potential lack of availability of certain specialized medical devices in latex-free versions, which can hinder the complete transition to a latex-free environment.
