Guide to Medical Uniforms

Medical scrubs: the workhorse of medical uniforms

If you're ordering medical scrub uniforms for your staff, consider asking the supplier to embroider your organization's logo or staff members' names onto their scrub tops.

I recommend: Visit AllHeart.com for a wide selection of medical scrub uniforms for women and men, including discount medical uniforms. At Lydia’s Uniforms you can save time by searching for men’s and women’s medical scrubs by brand, color, size and style. Also check out Lydia’s Uniforms for discount medical uniforms. Labwear.com’s operating room scrubs include a reversible shirt. Peaches Uniforms, which caters to fashion-conscious women in medicine, has partnered with Katherine Heigl, from television’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” to produce the Katherine Heigl Collection. Marcus Uniforms helps you take the guesswork out of deciding which sizes to order by providing extensive sizing charts by brand.

Distinctive medical uniforms for women

Take a break from predictable medical scrub uniforms with unique and fashionable styles.

I recommend: Peaches Uniforms sells crisp, white dresses and suits. Or, go for sleek, casual medical uniforms with “sport stretch” scrubs, available at SmartScrubs. Celebrate the holidays with seasonal medical scrubs available from UA Scrubs.

Medical lab coats for every need

Classic white, knee-length medical lab coats are still a mainstay in medicine, but some medical facilities have policies that specify lab coat lengths, depending on your position.

I recommend: NWMedicalSolutions.com sells medical lab coats for women and men. At Ackley Uniforms you’ll find men’s and unisex lab coats, including some made from 100% cotton for those who are tired of cotton/polyester blends. Women can find several lab coat styles at Labwear.com. For disposable medical lab coats, visit Medical Supplies & Equipment Company.

Complete your medical uniforms from head to toe

Choose surgical caps and comfortable footwear that complement your medical uniforms.

I recommend: Sassy Scrubs lets you choose from more than 30 fabric designs for your surgical caps. Green Scrubs offers footwear designed for medical professionals. Look for colors that go with your medical scrubs. Lydia’s Uniforms provides a wide selection of shoes specifically for nurses.
