What are scrubs?
Scrubs were originally only used by NHS Trusts and private hospitals. Since Covid-19, all healthcare industry workers are being asked to wear them. Worn in medical settings and now the wider healthcare sector, scrubs are a kind of clothing designed to help prevent the spread of infection. They do this by forming a barrier between the wearer and infectious substances to reduce the risk of infection and cross-contamination.
Scrubs are loose-fitting and don’t restrict movement, so they’re designed to be easy to wear by all kinds of clinicians. They are also washable at high temperatures to keep them clean from any bacteria or viruses that may be present on them after a shift.
What is a scrubs uniform?
A scrubs uniform consists of a separate tunic and scrub trousers that can be mixed and matched, and perfect for any healthcare situation. Scrubs uniforms are suitable when you need to be in one colour from head-to-toe or in places where you’re needing to differentiate between the top and trousers.
What are scrub uniforms made from?
Alexandra’s scrubs are made from polycotton, a 65% polyester to 35% cotton material. The mix of man-made and natural fibres maintains the benefits of both and makes for a very strong, comfortable and safe scrubs material:
- Strong: in polycotton, the plastic polyester serves to strengthen the natural wool to form a much more durable material without sacrificing comfort.
- Comfortable: polyester is strong but it isn’t a very breathable material. Cotton is weaker but allows for a better transfer of heat. By combining the two, you get the perfect material for scrubs.
- Washable to 60ºC: polycotton can withstand high enough temperatures to make sure the risk of infection and contamination is eliminated through the washing process.
Can I personalise my scrubs?
Most of our medical scrubs are available with personalisation details such as embroidery. To make identification easier, many healthcare customers choose to add custom designs such as staff names or roles and hospital logos.
