How to Choose the Right Medical Scrub for Your Profession – Mankaia Guide
A medical scrub is more than just professional clothing: it’s a true work tool. It represents hygiene, safety, comfort, and even the image you project to your patients. Whether you are a doctor, nurse, caregiver, or dentist, choosing a scrub suited to your profession is essential.
In this article, we provide practical tips and advice to help you select the right professional medical scrub.
Why Wearing a Proper Medical Scrub is Essential
In healthcare, every detail counts. An ill-fitting scrub can quickly become inconvenient: poor cut, uncomfortable fabric, lack of pockets, difficult maintenance… The result: wasted time, fatigue, and discomfort.
On the other hand, a well-chosen medical scrub provides:
Optimal comfort during long shifts
Better hygiene thanks to technical fabric
A professional appearance in front of patients
Enhanced safety depending on your environment (chemicals, fluids, heat, etc.)
Criteria for Choosing the Right Medical Scrub
Choose breathable, durable, and easy-care fabrics:
Polyester/cotton: good balance of comfort and durability
Stretch fabric: flexible, ideal for repeated movements
Technical fabric (antibacterial, fluid-resistant, water-repellent): perfect for operating rooms, emergencies, or high-risk car
Depending on your body shape and preferences:
Straight or fitted cut (male/female)
V-neck, mandarin collar, or shirt collar
Standard length or tunic-style (more coverage)
Essential for keeping tools within reach:
Chest pockets
Lower pockets for pens, gloves, blood pressure cuffs, etc.
Inner pockets for secure storage

A scrub that is too tight restricts movement; too loose looks sloppy. Mankaia provides detailed sizing guides on every product page.
Scrubs are no longer just white! Navy, mint green, pink, black… Change colors according to your department or mood.
For maximum comfort, choose scrubs with elastane—perfect for those who move all day.
Rotate scrubs to ensure perfect hygiene and prevent premature wear.
