Claim 0:
1. A glove that is X-ray detectable prepared from a latex formulation comprises a base polymer, an accelerator, a vulcanizing agent, a surfactant, a pH adjuster, an antifoaming agent and a thickener, characterized in that the latex formulation further includes a radiocontrast filler, wherein the radiocontrast filler consist of a radiocontrast agent, a surfactant, a thickener and a solvent, wherein the radiocontrast agent in the radiocontrast filler is selected from the group consisting of barium sulphate, nickel, zinc, iron, iron oxide magnetite, bismuth oxide and gadolinium, wherein the radiocontrast agent in the radiocontrast filler is used in an amount ranging between 40% to 60% by weight of the radiocontrast filler, wherein the surfactant in the radiocontrast filler is selected from the group consisting of sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate, potassium laurate, monosodium salt of sulphated methyl oleate, sodium naphthalene formaldehyde sulphonate, disodium n-octadecylsulphosuccinamate, sodium polyacrylate, ammonium polyacrylate and mixtures therefrom, wherein the surfactant in the radiocontrast filler is used in an amount ranging between 1% to 10% by weight of the radiocontrast filler, wherein the thickener in the radiocontrast filler is selected from the group consisting of acrylic copolymer containing carboxyl group, polysaccharide based thickener and mixtures therefrom, wherein the thickener in the radiocontrast filler is used in an amount ranging between 1% to 10% by weight of the radiocontrast filler, wherein the solvent in the radiocontrast filler is selected from the group consisting of tap water, distilled water and mixtures therefrom, wherein the solvent in the radiocontrast filler makes up the remaining content of the radiocontrast filler, wherein the radiocontrast filler is used in an amount of at least 10 phr of the latex formulation and wherein the radiocontrast filler has total solid content of 45%.
