Medical Scrubs - Materials and Construction

Medical scrubs are made with various durable natural and man made materials. Medical scrubs come in fabrics like cotton, poplin and polyester. Most medical scrubs are made out of polyester and cotton blends. Medical scrubs are made to be durable and easy to clean for long time use. Medical scrubs construction techniques vary with brand and fabric use. Some construction techniques help make the medical scrubs more durable and stain and fluid resistant. The price of medical scrubs can vary depending on the durability of the material and the type of material used. Usually medical scrubs made with a blend of fabric are more expensive if there is more cotton than polyester in the blend. For example, if the blend of a medical scrub top is fifty percent cotton and fifty percent polyester it will most likely be more expensive than a medical scrub top with sixty-five percent polyester and thirty-five percent cotton. Fluid and stain resistant medical scrubs are also usually more expensive than regular medical scrubs.

Medical scrubs are constructed in different ways to give different fits to scrub tops and bottoms. Basic medical scrubs tops are square cut with v-necks and basic medical scrub pants are simple draw string pants. These basic medical scrubs are usually the least expensive medical scrubs available. Medical scrubs also come in different, more tailored and fitting cuts. These fitted cuts can also come with different neck lines, sleeve lengths and multiple pockets. You can also find medical scrubs in any color or colorful print.
