Adar Scrub Top Review

Look As Professional As You Are*
     

Uniformed Scrubs asked me to review a medical scrub top from Adar Uniforms.

I ordered a size medium (quick arrival, via UPS) that came in black.  The first thing that I noticed was the quality of the fabric.  The feel is one of crispness, like fresh cotton sheets.  This Adar scrub top is 65% polyester and 35% cotton.  Washing is simple, with the directions stating to machine wash in warm water, and tumble dry low, no bleach.  The weave is tight, yet breathable.  For a polyester base, it feels more like cotton.  This is one of those scrub tops that stays looking new, despite repeated washing.  

Scrubs must be durable and easy to take care of.  Repeat--easy care.  Anyone in the medical profession knows how important that is at the end of a busy day.  I will never forget one of my nursing instructors relating to us in class that each day she got home from her shift in the ER, she stripped down in the garage, tossed her scrubs in to the wash and immediately took a shower.  That has always stuck in my mind as she was getting across to us the plethora of bacterial transfer that occurs when working in direct patient care, and teaching us that each patient we come into contact with, lab coat or not, may transfer bacteria not only to our skin (ergo the constant hand washing) but also to our uniforms.  Unless there is protective wear over nurses scrubs, this seems inevitable.  

The fit is roomy, a refreshing change to the trend of tighter scrubs that are so popular.  I know nurses who were never interested in the body-conscious designs.  These are not overweight people.  Everyone has a personal comfort factor, knowing what works best for them and the specific job being performed.  We all have an overall preference towards a certain fabric, a favorite fit, and color.

I have a slender build, and the width of this particular style is a bit too large for my frame.  I would wear this top however; I have others that are of the looser style, and they are very comfortable.  A couple of the tighter scrubs I have feel a bit too tight and restrictive.  It’s all about personal comfort in our profession.  An uncomfortable nurse makes for an unhappy nurse.

This scrub top style also considers function of the job being done.  What nurse is not completely lost without a pen?  (Oh the arguments I've seen over lost/stolen pens)  Within the top left pocket is a separate stitched pocket for pens, penlights, etc.  One of those small but much needed and appreciated features.
