Medical scrubs are renowned for their comfort and versatility. This is due in large part to the fabric of choice for scrubs: cotton. Cotton medical scrubs are strong and durable, able to withstand hundreds and thousands of days of wash and wear. Cotton medical scrubs are also able to breath, keeping skin comfortable and dry.

Another favorite quality of cotton medical scrubs is their ability to take a dye. Cotton medical scrubs are available in a wide variety of colors to suit any taste. It is even possible to find cotton medical scrubs with prints of cartoon characters or celebrities. Cotton medical scrubs also come in a variety of cuts and styles. Consumers can choose between straight-leg or boot cut bottoms and loose or athletic fit tops. Bottoms generally come in drawstring or elastic waist bands, and many come with cargo pockets to increase their carrying capacity. Some manufacturers offer double-stitched, reversible scrubs in addition to the standard single-stitched cotton medical scrubs. Consumers even have a variety of choices in sleeve types, including kimono and cap style sleeves.

Some scrubs have a small amount of polyester added into the weave to increase durability and decrease wrinkles. But many people prefer 100% cotton medical scrubs because the polyester decreases the fabrics ability to breathe. The blended fabric also feels less natural on the skin, forcing people to wear cotton undershirts.
