What are the fabrics of nurses’ uniforms? Which one is better?

For hospitals or nursing homes, nurse uniforms are essential work clothes for nurses. Because of the particularity of the working environment, nurse uniforms have more functional requirements, such as antibacterial, radiation protection, and anti-static functions. So what fabrics have these functions? Let me introduce to you some common nurse uniform fabrics.

Pure cotton nurse uniform: This is the most commonly used nurse uniform fabric. Everyone knows that pure cotton is a natural fabric and therefore has good hygiene, followed by pure cotton. It is skin-friendly and will not cause allergies to the human body. This can also avoid secondary harm to patients due to clothing. In order to make pure cotton fabrics have excellent anti-static and radiation protection capabilities, clothing manufacturers will add anti-radiation coatings to clothing. This can well prevent medical equipment from harming nurses.

However, the production cost of pure cotton is high, so polyester-cotton (that is, polyester and cotton are blended in a certain proportion) nurse uniforms have appeared. The wearing experience may not be as good as pure cotton, but they are more wear-resistant and durable. The overall performance is between polyester and pure cotton, and the specific strength depends on the blending ratio of the fabric.

Polyester nurse uniforms: First of all, the cost of polyester will be lower than pure cotton. Compared with pure cotton, it has better wear resistance and washability. Polyester nurse uniforms will be more resistant to dirt and washing. The clothes are not easy to break and are easy to take care of, but they are not very breathable and prone to pilling. However, generally nurse uniforms are not worn close to the body, so the requirements for breathability are naturally not that high.

This is the introduction to the fabrics of nurse uniforms in this issue. Generally speaking, they can be divided into three categories: pure cotton, polyester cotton and polyester. In principle, pure cotton will be better, but the specific choice is still unclear. It needs to be decided according to the usage scenario of the nurse uniform.
