  • Title: Surgical glove hazards: a commentary.
    Author: Ellis H.
    Journal: J Long Term Eff Med Implants; 1997; 7(3-4):215-8. PubMed ID: 10176131.
    Abstract:
    Surgical contaminants of many kinds, including glove powder, cause granuloma formation. This is particularly well documented in the peritoneal cavity, but has been demonstrated in most anatomic sites. In addition, systemic manifestations result from the absorption of the latex protein antigens onto the starch powder on the surgical gloves, which is aerosolized when the gloves are donned or removed.
