Comfort

The comfort of the nurse or staff should be a top priority when selecting a uniform size and type.

Choice Of Fabric

The choice of fabric needs to be identified by the SOP’s guidelines. The common-sense rule is to select the fabric type depending on the work environment. This means that we understand that the medical facilities are fully temperature controlled. Still, if the staff’s job is to move indoors and outdoors, one should also consider the area’s weather conditions.

Style

Now, this is the place where we can use some design sensibility and add value to the medical uniform outlook by incorporating your brand image. Any scrub or uniform style has the following areas where the style can reflect on making your uniform look customized. 

Scrubs Pants Cut

There are many variations available in the style of pants selection for your customized healthcare uniform design. It can be square cut or three-quarters in length. To avoid the pants touching the floor and staying up from the ankle. In a clinical setup where the operational department is outpatient, the pants can be smarter in cut but comfortable for the staff.

The scrubs and uniform tops come in a range of cuts and designs. The main difference is to select a front enclosed or open-top or side flip which hooks in on one side. The key is not to use the buttons on the shirt to avoid a solid surface to carry any germs. The pockets are highly recommended as per the requirement of nurses or staff of what they need to carry while performing their job.

Neck And Sleeves Shape

The following design, which can make the outlook different, is a choice of neckline and sleeve length. The job type usually marks the sleeve length if you work in a distant medical facility where there is no direct interaction with the patient and possible exposure to body fluids. You can wear full-length sleeves. In the cases otherwise, the recommended length is half or a maximum of three quarters.

Color Of The Scrub

The colours in the scrubs and medical uniforms give you a fabulous opportunity to brand your health facility effectively. Use the colours of your logos in selecting the medical uniforms. Another idea is to pick one colour from your branded image and then use different tones to make a colour code for various departments within your medical care staff.

Printed Or Embroidery ID Tags

The more significant and specialized facilities in the medical sector usually make the uniforms look branded. The uniform wearer’s name and the logo of the facility are attached to the top of the scrub as a badge. Another way to incorporate that identity tag is in the form of print embossed and embroidery on the uniform as a part of the apparel. If you go for a print, it will eventually fade out because of the washing requirement of the uniform regularly. The embroidery is comparatively a more functional choice in that case.
