Rubber glove

A rubber glove is a glove made out of natural or synthetic rubber. 'rubber' refers to durable, waterproof, and elastic material made from natural or synthetic latex.^[1] Rubber gloves can be unsupported (rubber only) or supported (rubber coating of textile glove). Its primary purpose is the protection of the hands while performing tasks involving chemicals. Rubber gloves can be worn during dishwashing to protect the hands from detergent and allow the use of hotter water. Sometimes caregivers use rubber gloves during the diaper changing process to prevent contact with the child's fecal material/urine. Health professionals use medical gloves rather than rubber gloves when performing surgical operations.
