Latex Allergies
Medical professionals use many different items to help their patients overcome illness or injury, but occasionally these devices may be the source of health problems. When an individual is allergic to latex, a substance used to build many medical tools, they may be subject to serious complications. If this potentially deadly type of reaction occurs because of the negligence of another, it may be sufficient grounds for the pursuit of a medical malpractice claim.

- Surgical masks
- Blood pressure cuffs
- Stethoscopes
- Syringes
- Respirators
