Best Answer

A sensitivity or allergy to latex is not uncommon. While prolonged exposure is usually required to cause irritation, some patients are highly sensitive and can have no contact with latex. Further, medical personnel generally wear a stethoscope around the neck for many hours of the day. Anyone with a latex allergy would want to use a latex-free stethoscope.
