Unlike other brands on the market, Saxenfelt does not mix any synthetic or chemical additives into their latex in order to comply with the stringent health standards of the European marketplace. In Europe, regulations actually forbid the use of additives such as nitrates, calcium, salts and chalk in products designed to be in contact with the skin, due to the increased health risks. The addition of other chemicals and synthetics is done to reduce the cost of the natural latex and to transform it into regular rubber. These additives tend to make the rubber less flexible so it must be made thinner to maintain acceptable stretch qualities. But being made thinner reduces the strength and allows it to tear much more easily.
Manufactured in Denmark, Saxenfelt’s surgical quality latex products are seamless dip molded from anatomically correct forms, which means that there are NO vulcanized or glued seams to rip, tear or leak and all products have a uniform thickness of 0.35 mm. ( NO thin spots, Lots of Stretch capabilities and strong enough not to tear without making you feel like your wearing scuba diving wet suit !

But all this good stuff doesn't mean you don't have to be careful with these products. Please note that this is Real Latex and Should Not be sprayed with Automotive Type Rubber Dressings or Polishes. Damage will occur with the use of any petroleum based sprays or cleaners. ( same as using Vaseline with Condoms. ) Use warm water and a very mild soap to clean your latex products after use.
