Top Changes in Hospital Protective Clothing and Its Importance

No matter from which disease a person is suffering, disposable protective wear and proper cleaning and sanitation are the most important parts of the treatment of sick people. With no protective clothing and hygiene, germs, which are the main cause of the various diseases, spread from one person to another. These are specifically harmful for the weak people. Medical protective clothing, which helps in protecting the staff and patients from non-sterilized environment and pathogens, includes:



Clothing styles are continually changing. Hemlines go up and down, styling changes from fitted to boxy, the length of tops and shirts goes from cropped to tunic length and prevalent color schemes vary from year to year. Clothing manufacturers need to periodically offer new stylings in order to keep the demand for new clothing high. While driven by marketing needs, changes in clothing styles and colors is not altogether bad for the consumer. If you don't look particularly good in the current styles or favor the au courant colors you can be sure that the fashion of the today will be yesterday's passé fad. 

Safety glasses or face shields: These are basically the goggles made of plastic. These protect the eyes from swift splatter of blood, vomit etc. Some of them swathe around the temples, thus giving extra protection to the wearer. Masks: Worn over mouth and nose, these prevent exhaling and inhaling of micro organisms.

Nursing uniforms also follow these same nursing trends. No longer are hospitals staffed with nurses in starched white nursing uniforms and caps. In the 1980's traditional nursing uniforms gave way to uniform scrubs. Originally worn solely in the operating room in colors of green or blue, uniform scrubs found their way into all areas of hospital nursing and into doctor and dental offices. Most healthcare workers now choose to wear uniform scrubs because of their comfort, easy of laundering and low price. 

Surgical gowns: Generally used by surgeons, these are reusable or disposable as well.These generally reach till calf and have elasticized bands at sleeves. According to various studies, around 10% of the people get infection from General surgery set, and this count is far more among the patients in intensive care, as they have very low immunity to these infections. The use of protective clothing becomes imperative while handling the vulnerable areas. In a hospital, where the staff is in direct contact with the germs all the time, the protective clothing has become an integral part of their work. However,still there are a number of hospitals where not much importance is given to protective clothing or their cleaning. One thing which hospital staff has to understand is that in hospitals the periphery between good health and infections is very small and thus, taking preventive measures becomes quite important.

As in regular clothing, one style will not suit everyone's taste or body requirements. In response to the large number of nurses choosing to wear medical scrubs, companies such as Cherokee Scrubs and Dickies Scrubs increased their uniform scrub lines to offer a variety of styles of scrub pants and scrub tops to better fit the many different types of the female figure. The unisex, boxy scrub was joined by fitted pants in regular, petite and tall lengths. The original drawstring waist was no longer the only option for pants. Elastic waists, fly front fitted waistbands and low-rise waists are now options for the uniform scrubs wearer. 
It is not only the staff which is under the threat; in fact, even patients are under high risk. According to some researches there are certain infections which are generally harmless, but when these come in contact with the vulnerable or already sick patients,then these turn up into life threatening diseases. The main reason for which is the lowimmunity of the patient.

Scrub tops also are available in a variety of styles to flatter the female figure. The boxy, loose fitting uni[censored] top now has a slimmer fitting version. Scrub tops now come in snap front, mock wrap and empire waist versions. Nurses are now able to choose their nursing uniforms based on fashion, fit and comfort, making for more ease of wear during the work shift. The need to bend, stretch and lift is not hampered by inappropriate or confining nursing uniforms. 

Although there are some Scrub Suit which have not realized the importance of protective clothing, but most of the hospitals have understood their importance, and therefore it would not be wrong to say that they are not only protecting themselves, but also making every single effort to help patients recover in the best possible way.

Color! Color! Color! Uniform scrubs have revolutionized the hospital environment, infusing color into the once sterile looking hospitals. Patients reacted favorable to the change, feeling less intimidated and more relaxed during hospital stays. Different hospital units took to wearing designated colors to differentiate their work space. Nurses were pleased that uniform scrubs are easier to launder that the traditional white nursing dress, requiring little or no ironing if removed promptly from the drier. And the problem of keeping white uniforms looking clean and white was no longer an issue, resulting in colored nursing scrubs having a longer life than white uniforms
