'Better late than never'
If the FDA, which could have legally banned the gloves in 1998, had taken
action then, says Public Citizen, "hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers
and patients would have been spared preventable, often life-threatening adverse
reactions."
"Better late than never,"
points out Ms. Groven. "I
feel like the big push for
patient safety in the last
few years has enlightened
many medical profession-
als to some of the risks
that they were not aware
of previously. Now, latex
is another story. I feel
that's the next hurdle —
getting people to use only
non-powdered latex-free
gloves."
