| Abstract: |
| The development process，specifications，classification and present problems of natural latex medical products were introduced，mainly on the natural latex condoms，surgical and examination gloves，and balloon catheters. The production status of natural latex medical products in China was also summarized.Natural latex occupied a major position in the raw materials of medical rubber products because of its unique characteristics. However，natural latex medical products also had certain potential risks to human health due to the inclusion of allergic water-soluble proteins and the production of nitrosamines during processing. The safety of natural latex medical products should be improved by reducing the protein content of natural latex，using green vulcanization accelerators，and applying new nanomaterials. |
