The medical industry has been a key audience for Four D’s latex and latex free rubber manufactured equipment for over 25 years.
Our ability to manipulate rubber properties at a molecular level has led us to develop a unique material base for a range of medical related sheet and products such as Dental Dams, Tourniquets, Leg Straps, Surgical Drapes and Mattress Covers.
All of our medical products are manufactured under strict ISO and FDA regulations.
The Four D range of medical latex offerings can be found in a growing selection of leading medical institutions and dentist practices all over the world.
Our medical products have received Global recognition as being the best in the market. This is due to the innovative and versatile approach to our research and development, constantly challenging the science behind our products.
The medical industry demands reliable, durable and safe products. We accomplish this by using only the highest grade, approved ingredients, adhering to stringent manufacturing and quality control procedures and rigorous testing.
Our medical products make use of synthetic natural rubber latex which has no proteins that could trigger allergies or high grade, low protein natural rubber latex to minimise any risk of sensitivity.
Four D has obtained ISO 9001. 2015 and ISO 13485. 2016 accreditations and manufactures to FDA approved standards.
The Four D technology badge is a stamp of manufactured excellence as it represents our

utilisation of the best natural ingredients, innovative processes and superior quality material

characteristics.
At Four D we have complete, in house control over all key steps, from rubber formulation

through to manufacture, finishing and presentation. We use unique, proprietary technology

at every stage. This ensures that the inherent properties of latex are preserved and

enhanced, and all our sheeting and products are made to the highest standards.

In Europe the marketing of medical devices manufactured from latex is regulated by directives describing the essential (safety) requirements that products have to fulfill to obtain marketing approval. This paper describes the general requirements for marketing medical devices in Europe and, more specifically, the requirements for products manufactured from natural rubber latex. The requirements for marketing medical devices can be fulfilled by using the relevant harmonized European standards. These standards are regularly under revision to incorporate the latest scientific developments. For certain devices, for example, latex medical (examination and surgical) gloves, specific standards have been published. Medical devices manufactured from latex pose a serious problem because of the risk of induction of allergy both against the latex proteins inherently present (type I or immediate type allergy) and against chemicals added during processing (type IV or delayed type hypersensitivity) present as residues in the latex products. So, besides requirements for product quality in terms of barrier properties, strength, and sterility, the main focus consists of the allergy-inducing properties of the latex products. Recent developments have reopened the discussion on the value of total protein versus allergen determination in latex medical gloves. However, as long as minimal levels needed for both sensitization and elicitation have not been established, a safe maximum level for leachable proteins/allergens in latex products cannot be determined. A European Commission guidance document on the latex allergy problem is currently being drafted by experts from Competent Authorities.
