Which band color is associated with a latex allergy?

The band color associated with a latex allergy is green. This color coding system is used in healthcare settings to easily identify patients with specific allergies or conditions, allowing staff to take necessary precautions to avoid exposure to latex products, which can cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Using a green band helps ensure that everyone involved in the patient’s care is aware of the allergy and can follow proper protocols when administering care, such as using latex-free gloves and other medical supplies. This visibility and communication are essential for patient safety in a hospital environment.
