Statement on Latex as it Relates to Allograft and Xenograft Implants
RTI’s implants do not contain latex and are not packaged in or with materials that contain latex. Allograft and xenograft tissue may have been handled during processing by staff wearing gloves that may contain latex. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “does not believe it would be appropriate to require natural rubber labeling statements for natural rubber-free devices or foods that may be handled with latex gloves.”1 Furthermore, the “FDA is not aware of any reports of allergic reactions to rubber-free products that latex gloves have contacted.”
