'Latex gloves' is a rather generic term that is typically used to describe natural rubber latex, single use or disposable gloves typically associated with medical or hygiene applications. Lately latex gloves are becoming popular for many more applications. Strictly speaking, nitrile gloves which are made from a synthetic latex are also 'latex gloves' but these are free of the natural rubber latex proteins that cause allergic reactions in some users. Latex gloves are also available in thicker or heavier gauge latex for industrial applications.
