What are Customised Scrubs and Gowns?
Scrubs refer to the clothing worn by nurses, doctors, dentists, midwives, and patient care/transport staff in medical facilities. While traditionally, scrubs refer to the apparel a surgeon wears when operating, these days, its definition has been broadened to include any clothing that is worn specifically in a medical environment that is lightweight, easy to wear, fast to launder, and quick to dry. Here in Australia, you’ll see scrubs on hospital, veterinary, aged-care, dental, and beauty staff in various roles as part of their uniforms.
Medical gowns are the outfits worn by patients receiving treatment in a medical facility. Gowns tie together or snap together with buttons and provide lightweight coverage over the torso, arms, and legs. Gaps in the material allow medical staff easy access to the patient. Cubic Promote also stocks several different kinds of patient gowns, which we will customise with ward details, hospital logos, and more.
Care Tips for Printed Healthcare Apparel
Here are some helpful tips to care for your workwear:
- Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always check the care label for specific washing and drying guidelines to ensure the longevity and integrity of the fabric.
- Use Hot Water and Disinfectant Detergent: Wash scrubs and gowns in hot water with a disinfectant detergent to remove bacteria and viruses effectively.
- High-Temperature Drying: Dry at a high temperature to aid in disinfecting the garments, but ensure this is in line with care instructions to avoid damage.
- Ironing: Ironing is generally safe and can help eliminate remaining germs, besides leaving the garments smooth. Always check the garment’s care label before ironing.
- Regular Inspections: Routinely check for signs of wear and tear such as thinning fabric or weakened seams. Replace the garment if significant damage is observed to maintain protection.
