Protection by Antimicrobial Nursing Scrubs

Where are the deadliest microbes found? They’re in the supposedly safe places, the hospitals and health clinics. Due to the fact that almost all kinds of diseases come in those places, they’re also the areas where people can most probably catch disease-causing microbes, viruses or pathogens. Visitors, patients, or anyone with low immunity, if they go to places such as hospitals and clinics, can easily contract healthcare-associated infections. How much more if you’re a resident nurse or physician who stays in such a place for almost all of your life?

Health advisories give emphasis on the easiest and most effective way of preventing HAIs, and that’s through frequent proper hand washing. The use of hand sanitizers and alcohol are also suggested as alternative to hand-washing with soap but not for surgical hand-scrub preparations. Further, they look for scrubs uniforms featuring antimicrobial properties. These are medical uniforms using fabrics which were treated with chemicals, to enable anti-microbial capability. Others were made of fabrics sourced from materials with inherent antimicrobial properties.

Scrubs uniforms as well as medical lab coats can help deter microbial growth by either killing or inhibiting micro-organisms from breeding. Cherokee and Landau are two of the manufacturers of such kind of medical uniforms and scrubs. Landau for instance have LA-3124 Landau 37-inch protective men medical lab coat, an item featuring patented antimicrobial coating for physicians protection when working in high risk areas for contracting harmful microbes. Landau also offers scrub tops and scrub pants, both provide microbial protection. Cherokee, on the other hand, features a whole line of antimicrobial nursing scrubs called the Bamboo Planet collection. The bamboo, from which bamboo fabric is harnessed, has natural antimicrobial properties. No wonder, the particular nursing scrub is gaining popularity from among the healthcare workers these days.

Medical scientists are aiming to advance the antimicrobial properties of medical uniforms. They are hoping to provide the medical industry not just scrubs and uniforms with better antimicrobial capabilities, but also blood repellant properties. As of now, the health care sector benefits from the synthetic polymers, like the polyester of the nursing scrubs and medical lab coats. Further, it is able to use bioactive fibres, the modified form of antimicrobial fabric blends, in the form of surgical threads as well as dressing and sanitary materials. Significant experimental study on antimicrobial activity of cotton fabric treated with aloe gel extract from aloe vera plant for controlling the Staphylococcus aureus, (VISA or MRSA) resistant to most antibiotics, is very promising. Tests show the antimicrobial effect can remain in 98% even after 50 washes. Other scientists are focused on developing textiles with permanent antibacterial properties.
