What is a "latex glove"?

A latex glove is a type of protective handwear commonly used in medical settings and other industries where hand hygiene and safety are important. It is made of latex rubber and is designed to fit snugly on the hands, providing a barrier between the wearer's skin and potentially harmful materials or substances. Latex gloves are known for their stretchiness, durability, and sensitivity, allowing wearers to perform a wide range of tasks while maintaining precision and dexterity. They are also widely available and relatively inexpensive, making them a popular choice for many applications. However, some people may be allergic to latex, and alternative glove materials such as nitrile or vinyl may be used instead.
