ERJ staff report (DS)
Atlanta, Georgia -- Vystar Corp. and Alatech Healthcare, LLC have launched a male latex condom made with Vytex Natural Rubber Latex (NRL), under the name of Envy. Vytex is an ultralow protein latex material with significantly reduced levels of antigenic proteins that can cause latex allergies.
The companies say the new condom is the only male latex condom on the market with antigenic protein levels under two micrograms/dm2
Vystar said the Envy condom retains all the positive qualities of a latex condom - including barrier protection, tensile strength, tactile sensitivity, elasticity, comfort and fit. Moreover, Vytex NRL is an all-natural latex material that is biodegradable and odour-free.
