Abstract
In this study, an effort was made to evaluate the quantity of water extractable protein, endotoxin level and percentage haemolysis from four different brands of commercially available surgical latex gloves. The estimation of protein, endotoxin content and percentage haemolysis was carried out as per International standard. The result of the study indicated that the protein, endotoxin and percentage haemolysis were under acceptable limit. Hence, it can be concluded that the protein content of all the four brands of surgical latex gloves can be considered as pyrogen free and non hemolytic, hence safe.
