Doctors, Nurses, and other medical staff are present during a medical operations. In hospital operating rooms, proper uniform is necessary like scrubs. Scrubs clothing are the shirts and trousers or gowns worn by nurses, surgeons, and other operating room personnel when “scrubbing in” for surgery. They are designed to be simple with minimal places for dirt to hide, easy to launder, and cheap to replace if damaged or stained irreparably. The wearing of scrubs has been extended outside of surgery in many hospitals. Originally issued as replacement clothing if street clothing was contaminated, scrubs are now worn by any hospital personnel in any clean environment.
Today, any medical uniform consisting of a short-sleeve shirt and pants is known as “scrubs”. Cheap scrubs worn in surgery are almost always colored solid light green, light blue or a light green-blue shade, although some medical centers have switched to pink as a theft deterrent.
