Each hospital should have a "latex safe" protocol. Contact them and work with the hospital and your doctor before admission or surgery to establish a latex safe stay.
(As with all latex allergy questions check with your doctor for individual advice)
The American Latex Allergy Association depends on your membership dues and contributions to provide services to individuals and professionals.
