Scrubs & Apparel

Scrubs & Apparel at MedicalEx focuses on disposable protective outerwear for clinics, labs, and care teams. The lineup includes Dukal disposable scrub shirts and scrub pants, plus Dukal FitMe lab jackets and lab coats made from SMS nonwoven material, with adjustable waistbands and a full size run from Small to XXL. You can choose from a wide palette that includes white, black, ciel blue, sky blue, medical blue, teal/green, lavender, bubblegum pink, and raspberry pink. These garments suit nurses, medical assistants, lab staff, dental teams, and visitors who need a clean outer layer that can be swapped out instead of laundered every day. Most items are packed 10 per bag with multiple bags per case, which makes it simple to stock a supply room or a gowning station.

Why Scrubs & Apparel Are Essential

Clothing is one of the easiest ways for contaminants to travel. A lab coat or jacket worn over street clothes or scrubs adds a layer between the wearer and splashes, dust, and everyday soil, and it can be removed before the wearer leaves a work area. That simple habit helps keep break rooms, hallways, and homes cleaner.

Disposable outerwear also takes pressure off laundry. Reusable cotton coats need collection, washing, and tracking, and they are not always available when a new hire, student, or float nurse shows up. A bag of lab jackets on the shelf solves that problem in seconds.

There is a human side, too. Patients notice when staff look neat and put together, and color-coded jackets help people figure out who is who on a busy unit. For staff, a garment that fits properly and closes at the waist is more comfortable over a long shift than one that hangs loose. Always follow your facility’s dress code and PPE policy when deciding where and how outerwear is worn.

What Are Scrubs & Apparel?

In a healthcare setting, scrubs and apparel cover the work clothing staff wear on the job, from scrub sets to lab coats and jackets. The products in this category are disposable scrub shirts, scrub pants, lab coats and lab jackets, made mostly from SMS fabric. SMS stands for spunbond-meltblown-spunbond, a three-layer nonwoven built from polypropylene. The outer spunbond layers add strength, and the meltblown middle layer adds a finer barrier, giving a lightweight fabric that breathes better than plain plastic.

FitMe garments are designed to be worn over regular clothing or scrubs. The adjustable waistband lets the wearer cinch the fit, and some styles list knit cuffs. Several listings are labeled washable up to five times, so check each product page for care details. These items are non-sterile and are meant as protective work apparel, not as sterile surgical gowns.

Types of Scrubs & Apparel

1. Disposable Scrub Shirts & Scrub Pants

Best for: Staff who need a clean change of scrubs, visitors to restricted areas, and facilities without a scrub laundry program.

Dukal offers two disposable scrub lines. CoverSoft scrub shirts and pants are made from multi-layer SMS material that is breathable and listed as water-resistant, in blue, with drawstring-waist pants. A second line is made from spunbond polypropylene in dark blue. Both lines are non-sterile and are packed 10 per bag, 5 bags per case, in sizes from Small to X-Large.

Key Features

• Matching shirts and pants make a complete disposable scrub set.
• SMS and spunbond polypropylene options balance barrier and breathability.
• Drawstring waists help pants fit a range of body types.

Applications

• Staff can change into a fresh set after a splash or spill.
• Facilities can outfit visitors, vendors, or family members entering controlled areas.
• Clinics can stock scrubs for new hires before uniforms arrive.

2. Disposable Lab Jackets

Best for: Clinic staff, phlebotomy and lab areas, dental offices, and anyone who wants a protective layer with freedom of movement.

The Dukal FitMe Lab Jacket is the most widely stocked item in this category. It is made from premium SMS material and features an adjustable waistband so the jacket sits close to the body instead of flaring open.

Lab jackets are available in Small, Medium, Large, XL, and XXL, and they come in nearly every color in the FitMe range. Packaging is typically 10 per bag, with five bags per case on many listings, so a single case can outfit a small team.

Because they are non-sterile and intended as outer apparel, lab jackets work well for routine tasks where you want to protect clothing and limit carryover between areas.

Key Features

• Premium SMS nonwoven fabric provides a lightweight, breathable protective layer.
• An adjustable waistband helps each wearer get a closer, tidier fit.
• Sizes run from Small through XXL to fit a broad range of staff.
• Bagged in tens for easy storage and dispensing.

Applications

• Staff can wear them over scrubs during specimen collection or lab work.
• Dental and outpatient teams can use them as a fresh outer layer between patients or sessions, according to office policy.
• Students, visitors, and temporary staff can be outfitted quickly without a laundry program.
• Teams can assign colors to roles so patients and coworkers can identify staff at a glance.

3. Disposable Lab Coats

Best for: Providers, lab personnel, and educators who prefer the traditional lab coat look with more coverage.

Dukal FitMe Lab Coats share the same SMS construction and adjustable waistband as the jackets, in a classic lab coat style. Some listings note knit cuffs, which help keep sleeves in place at the wrist.

Several FitMe Lab Coat listings are labeled washable up to five times. That gives a little more life from each garment while keeping the convenience of disposable apparel. Review the product details and your facility’s policies before reusing any protective garment.

Lab coats are offered in Small through XXL and in colors such as white, ciel blue, teal/green, lavender, bubblegum pink, and raspberry pink.

Key Features

• A traditional lab coat style offers a professional appearance in clinical and lab settings.
• Knit cuffs on select styles help keep sleeves secure at the wrist.
• Some styles are labeled washable up to five times for limited reuse.
• SMS material balances protection with breathability for longer wear.

Applications

• Providers can wear them during exams and consultations as a clean outer layer.
• Lab teams can use them for bench work where clothing protection matters.
• Schools and training programs can supply them to students during skills labs.
• Facilities can stock them for visiting clinicians or vendors who need appropriate attire.

4. Color-Coded Apparel for Teams

Best for: Facilities that use color to separate roles, departments, or shifts.

FitMe lab jackets and coats come in a broad set of colors: white, black, ciel blue, sky blue, medical blue, teal/green, lavender, bubblegum pink, and raspberry pink. That range makes it practical to build a simple color system without switching brands.

Color coding can help patients and families recognize who is caring for them, and it can help staff spot the right person quickly during busy periods. It also makes restocking easier, since each department can keep its own color on hand.

Key Features

• Nine color options allow clear visual separation between groups.
• Consistent sizing across colors keeps ordering simple.
• The same SMS construction applies across the color range.

Applications

• Departments can be assigned a dedicated jacket color.
• Students or volunteers can be identified with a distinct color.
• Different colors can mark staff assigned to specific areas, following facility protocol.

When to Use Scrubs & Apparel

Disposable lab coats and jackets make sense any time you want a clean outer layer that can be removed and replaced without a laundry cycle. Common situations include:

• Lab work, specimen handling, or other routine tasks where clothing may get soiled.
• Outpatient, dental, and clinic settings where staff move between rooms throughout the day.
• Onboarding new staff, students, or float personnel who do not yet have assigned apparel.
• Visitor or vendor access to work areas that require a cover layer.
• Periods when reusable coats are in the wash or in short supply.

These garments are non-sterile protective apparel. For sterile procedures or tasks that call for a specific level of fluid protection, choose the PPE your facility protocol requires, such as isolation or surgical gowns.

How to Use Scrubs & Apparel

1. Pick the right size. Choose a size that allows full arm movement without excess fabric.
2. Perform hand hygiene. Clean your hands before putting on the garment.
3. Put it on. Slip into the sleeves and close the front fully.
4. Adjust the waistband. Cinch it so the garment sits close to the body.
5. Wear it in the designated area. Keep it on only where your facility requires it.
6. Remove carefully. Take it off by touching the inside surfaces and rolling it away from you.
7. Dispose or set aside. Discard it, or follow product care details and facility policy for reusable styles, then perform hand hygiene again.

Key Features of Scrubs & Apparel

• SMS Construction: A layered nonwoven fabric gives a light, breathable outer layer.
• Adjustable Waistband: Wearers can tailor the fit for comfort and a neat appearance.
• Full Size Range: Small through XXL helps outfit an entire team from one product line.
• Wide Color Selection: Nine colors support department branding and role identification.
• Bulk Packaging: Bagged in tens, with multiple bags per case, for organized storage.

Benefits of Scrubs & Apparel

1. Cleaner Workflows

A dedicated outer layer that stays in the work area helps limit what travels out on clothing. Staff can take it off before breaks or at the end of a shift.

2. Less Laundry Burden

Disposable apparel removes the need to collect, wash, and redistribute coats. That saves time for staff and frees up storage that would otherwise hold soiled linen.

3. Always Ready for New Faces

Students, travelers, and visitors can be outfitted right away. There is no waiting for a coat to come back from the laundry or finding one that fits.

4. Comfort Over a Long Day

SMS fabric is lighter and more breathable than plain plastic film, and the adjustable waistband keeps the garment from shifting while you work.

5. Easy Team Identification

With nine colors available, facilities can build a straightforward color system. Patients feel more at ease when they can tell roles apart, and staff can find each other faster.

6. Predictable Stocking

Consistent packaging in bags of ten makes it easy to count inventory and set reorder points for each size and color.

How to Choose the Right Scrubs & Apparel

Start with the job. If staff need a full change of clothing, choose a matching disposable scrub shirt and scrub pants. If staff need a light layer for routine work and want freedom of movement, a lab jacket is a practical pick. If your team prefers the classic look or more coverage, go with a lab coat.

Next, think about sizing. Order a mix of sizes based on your team, and keep a few extra in the most common sizes. A garment that is too small can pull at the shoulders, and one that is too large can catch on equipment.

Consider color. If you already use color coding, match your existing system. If not, white or blue are simple starting points, while pinks, lavender, teal, and black can identify specific departments or roles.

Check reuse expectations. Some FitMe Lab Coat listings are labeled washable up to five times. If reuse matters to you, confirm this on the product page and make sure it fits your facility policy.

Finally, match the garment to the risk. These items are non-sterile protective apparel. For procedures that require fluid-resistant or sterile garments, choose gowns that meet your facility protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
