Can Bionector cause a Latex Allergic Reaction?
The membrane of Bionector is made with Dry Natural Rubber. The manufacturing process for Dry Natural Rubber destroys the natural proteins, which cause Immediate Hypersensitivity (Type 1 reaction). Bionector also contains none of the processing agents associated with the less severe Delayed Hypersensitivity (Type 4 reaction). Bionector has also been subjected to the most stringent independent testing for Latex Allergenicity, and it has being proven to be Non-sensitising.
