fabric for nursing uniform

The  type of  fabric that you select  for  your dirty uniforms is very important when designing nursing  uniforms. Nurses put in long  hours on their feet,  move  a lot and  require clothes that will help them stay comfortable and  look neat. The  fabric determines how the uniform  will  feel and wear.  Some materials feel good  at first but  wear  out quickly. Others are tough  to open, but  may  be hard  on the  skin. At Xinyang, they understand how critical  it is to strike the  right balance. We’re  creating fabric  that makes it easier for nurses to do  their  jobs without a mess. The  fabric has  to be able to  take spills, washes and  then feel good  against one’s skin.  It shouldn’t  stretch  or shrink  after just a few washes. It also goes  without saying that top-quality nursing uniform fabric will ensure  that you  stay cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold. When hospitals order uniforms from Xinyang,  they receive  materials made specifically for this type of  work.  Here’s  a  closer look at what makes fabric for nursing uniforms  so  special, and how you can determine which type  is best when purchasing  wholesale.

Quality and Durability Explained

When it comes  to nursing uniforms, quality and durability are both  critical. Nurses are  always on  the move, bending and reaching, sitting or standing for long stretches of time.  The fabric has to be durable  so you don’t tear through or wear out material too  quickly.  A  good fabric is generally something you recycle because it’s a good fiber and woven tightly. Cotton, for  instance, is soft and allows skin to breathe  naturall,y but it  tends to wrinkle and tear  more easily when it’s 100% cotton. Polyester is stronger and stain-resistant but sometimes less comfortable. A lot of good nurse uniform materials are manufactured from combination of cotton  and polyester.  This combination is cozy but also tough. At Xinyang,  we invest a lot of  time and effort into ensuring our  fabrics not only  look good but hold up over the long run. We launder them many times  to see if color fades  or fabric dhrinks. Consider a  nurse who has to clean their  scrubs every day.” If the fabric  fades or get stretched  out, it makes it look  old too quickly.  That’s no good. So durability  here means the fabric should stand  up to washing and use in that  it doesn’t lose its color, shape or strength. And, it  should be stain-resistant, hopefully repelling coffee and medicine. Certain fabrics come with special finishes that can repel stains or make cleaning easier. This  is so helpful  in hospitals that spills happen a lot. Something else you  cannot hide is how a garment feels against your skin,  in terms of quality.  Scratchy  or rough material is uncomfortable for nurses, especially on long shifts. Xinyang fabrics are soft and  comfortable enough to wear all day but strong enough for rugged use. Occasionally, a  fabric is initially nice but has little  backbone  after washing. We eliminate that by selecting fibers and weaving techniques that  maintain softness for many washes. In sum, quality nursing uniform fabric is  about a combination of comfort, durability and ease-of-care. That’s not an easy trifecta to nail, but  Xinyang  does the work to manage it. Nurses should have uniforms  that enable them  to  concentrate on their work,  not fixing or changing  their clothes all day.
