rubber glove
Dishwashing hand cover
A rubber glove is a protective covering for the hand made of rubber or similar waterproof material.
Rubber gloves are worn for cleaning, dishwashing, medical examinations, and handling chemicals or hazardous materials.
They protect both the wearer and whatever they're touching: Put on rubber gloves before handling the bleach.
In medical contexts, they're typically disposable latex or nitrile.
