Scrubs in public have been an issue for years after many hospitals and medical facilities eliminated the on-site laundering services for all their employees. That's why many medical professionals have laundered their own scrubs at home. These profesionals too sometimes wear their medical custom scrubs right away to or from work. Because of this cases many people questioned their self; Is it okay for medical professionals to wear their scrubs in public or not? Let's discuss the reason why.
Why is it A BIG DEAL? Hospitals and clinics are place where all germs or microbes can be found. Most of them are lethal and some are not. Medical personnels are prompt to these germs or microbes that's why they wear protective clothes for protection like scrubs and others. These scrubs are promptly stained with fluids that was came from germ infected patients or objects. That makes the reason why it is A BIG DEAL to anybody to wear medical uniforms in the public, specially if it is unlaundered. Some cases of these was take place in public streets and subways. Many people was alarmed by these but on the other hand, why is it not?
Why is it NOT? Advances in antimicrobial technology for medical uniforms are quite relieving to be alarmed. That may be the reason why some medical personnel are comportable to wear their medical scrub in public. Antimicrobial uniforms for medical personnels is very important because they are prompt to many germs or microbes in their works place. These antimicrobial technology are proven effective by professionals. Some of these technology was the N-Halamine compound which is treated to the fabric that binds chlorine to kill germs when touches the fabric. Another one is the silver ion technology which is encapsulated to a micro cages and when it become wet the silver ion releases its antimicrobial properties to kill germs. The last one is the Bioshield technology which uses positively charged polymer that bonds to the fabric and acts as bed of microscopic spikes that pierce the cell walls of the microbes which causes it to die.
It make sense right? But we can't expect what people can say about these. But atleast this is a quite relieving, right?
