setting authorities for your health facility. Therefore, we are outlining

9. Uniform Safety Measures
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.

11. Scrubs Fabric Choice
Easycare
Another significant thing that people usually
ignore is selecting a uniform which is easy to
manage. This means that the fabric type and
design should be such that it does not need a lot
of maintenance. It should be easily washed and
cleaned properly without a hassle.

13. 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.

15. Scrubs Tops

16. 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.

18. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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.
