Usage

Wear as part of a standard healthcare or clinic uniform, ensuring correct size selection for comfort and ease of movement.
The top can be worn with either side facing out; use the coloured back neckline to identify size during sorting and allocation.
Use the hip pocket for light items such as pens, notepads and small tools; avoid overloading to prevent pulling on the fabric.
Wash before first use if required by local infection-control policies.
Launder at up to 65°C in accordance with the care label and local infection-control and uniform policies.
Do not bleach unless the care label specifically permits; use colour-safe detergents to preserve vat-dyed colours.
Tumble dry and iron on settings appropriate for poly-cotton, following the care label to maintain fabric integrity and colour.
Inspect regularly for signs of wear, damage or seam failure and replace garments that are torn, heavily stained or otherwise unsuitable for clinical use.

Contraindications

Not suitable for environments where a different specific uniform type, colour or protective garment (for example, fluid-resistant gowns) is mandated by policy.
May not be appropriate for individuals with known sensitivities to polyester or cotton blends; alternative fabrics may be required for those with textile allergies.
Do not use if the garment is visibly damaged, excessively worn or contaminated in a way that cannot be adequately cleaned.

Adverse Effects

Possible mild skin irritation in individuals sensitive or allergic to polyester, cotton, dyes or laundry detergents used with the garment.
Inadequate laundering or failure to follow infection-control guidelines may increase risk of cross-contamination in clinical environments.
Poor fit (too tight or too loose) may cause discomfort or restrict movement during clinical tasks.

Storage Conditions

Store clean, dry garments in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Ensure scrubs are fully dry before storage to minimise the risk of mildew or odour.
Segregate clean and soiled garments according to local laundry and infection-control procedures.
Avoid storing near strong chemicals or solvents that could degrade fabric or affect colour.

Duration

Not applicable; this is a reusable clothing item intended for daily wear in healthcare and clinic settings, with lifespan dependent on frequency of use and laundering.
