Jun 11, 2022

1. White

Generally speaking, the hospital will regularly wash and disinfect the work clothes of the staff, and the disinfectant will make the clothes fade, so the white work clothes are convenient and will not fade.

Another reason to choose white overalls is that white looks softer and does not easily stimulate the patient's nerves, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.


2. Pink

Nurses in obstetrics and pediatrics generally wear pink because it is a soft, warm color. Children in pediatric hospitals are generally fearful of white. The visual effect is much better with pink. Alleviate your child's fears.


3. Green

In fact, the doctors started out wearing white coats. As surgical complexity increases, many procedures last as long as 6-8 hours.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, a doctor wrote an article analyzing some of the problems faced by surgery and suggested changing the clothing in the operating room from white to green so that the surgeon's eyes would be best served.


Why use white?

1. White is not resistant to dirt, and a little dirt can be seen, showing the cleanliness of the hospital.

2. There are many viruses and bacteria in the hospital. Generally speaking, the work clothes of the staff should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. The disinfectant used can discolor clothes, and even colored clothes will turn white after washing for a while, so it is better to use white directly.

3. White is softer, and it is not easy to stimulate the nerves of the patient (of course, because of the long-term use of white, many children often feel scared when they see people wearing white clothes)

4. White represents divine purity.

5. Special departments will wear other colors. Like green, it is usually the color worn by emergency departments and operating rooms, which means green channel. More importantly, green work clothes, one is to make bloodstains less obvious; one is to avoid the so-called persistent vision. Use green to prevent doctors from staring at red blood for too long, which can be dazzling during surgery, so use a contrasting color.

6. Intensive care units such as ICU and CCU are generally dressed in pink and colored clothes. These special colored clothes are not integrated like ordinary white coats, but separate, which is convenient for work.
