Wow! 2020 was a year any medical professional will never forget. Nurses and doctors were at the front lines during COVID, and helping their patients and themselves battle the virus is not something that will slip away from their memory to fast. So many things in the medical industry have changed in the last few months, and some of these changes have had a huge impact. So, what changed for men’s scrubs in 2020, you ask?
Well, firstly, many antimicrobial scrubs are becoming more popular and in demand. Scrubs manufacturers are working hard to create and expand their lines of clothing with this added feature. Antimicrobial scrubs are medical clothing that are made with an extra layer to protect against harmful bacteria, yeast, and algae that grows on garments. This layer of protection in high quality scrubs like Cherokee Infinity usually do not wear out or wash out. Scrubs with this technology will help you feel fresher and cleaner due to less odor, bacteria and staining that stick to the garments. Many doctors and nurses are turning only to scrubs and accessories with this technology.
There are many new scrub hats and non-medical masks for the new year. Scrub hats and masks are nothing new, however, with the great need to keep medical professionals protected from the virus there are many scrub caps and masks being created catered for this new time era. One great feature on new scrub hats are the snaps or buttons to attach a face mask that have become the new mandatory norm. Many medical professionals had sores around their ears from the elastic or material brushing against their skin all day from the face mask loops. The new scrub caps come with a place to attach the face mask to the hat to avoid soreness in the area. Many male nurses totally swear by these scrub caps and are leaving raving reviews about them.
Lastly the let us not forget about the joggers! Men’s scrub jogger pants are still the most up to date scrub pants. There are many new jogger styled pants available for the year 2021. The RothWear Scrubs Collection, launched just for men by Med Couture, features an awesome new jogger. Carharrtt, WonderWink, and Barco One Wellness are just a few popular men’s scrub brands that introduced brand new jogger style scrub pants.
So, as we step into year 2021, we can’t wait to see what else will be in store for us this year!
