You're not supposed to touch super glue.  It was designed to stick human parts together.     

What on earth are you gluing that requires surgical gloves.

I suspect its the glue that's the problem not the items being glued.

I find that the cheap polythene type disposable food handling gloves work for me. Superglue does not stick to some plastics. Failing that try food bags, not as good as gloves, but workable.


If you like you can dust your hands with talk before you put them on, but they are not tight fitting like latex.

When superglue first appeared some enterprising people started selling plastic pliers and clamps, of a type of plastic not affected by the "Kung-Fu Glue" as it was known then.  So polythene gloves will probably do the job.
I also recall some advice on the making of spars for a small yacht - bamboo skewers with superglue rubbed into them to make "Natures carbon fibre".  Seems that your finger would not adhere if is was kept moving fast enough.  Not advise I would personally follow, however good the results might be.
