Medelita Infographic
We’re a highly visual species, and we live in an ever-changing world where visual representation is paramount. Information – in both pedestrian and scientific settings, from traffic signals to anatomical charts gives us more information than we realize. So we decided to illustrate the value of a Medelita garment in a visual way. I could...

Founder Favorites: Lab Coat Embroidery Colors for Women
How many items of clothing bear your name? Unless you’re really vain or your mother is still labeling everything from your shoes to your underwear, my guess would be very few of your garments proudly state your identity. But – your lab coat should be one of them. At Medelita, we’re passionate about perfection, from...
The Damon C. Argento RPA-C Memorial Scholarship: Helping Students “PAve the Way”
Although I personally did not know Damon C. Argento, it genuinely saddens me to know that the world has lost an amazing man – a man devoted to his family and to his career. In doing research to write this blog post, I came to understand how many people he touched in his life and...
Honoring a Pioneer: Pierre Fauchard
“Sugar is detrimental to both gums and teeth. We should limit it in our daily foods.” It seems like common sense now, but in 1728, it was a revolutionary statement. The man credited with first recognizing that sugar was anything but sweet on teeth was Pierre Fauchard, known as “the father of modern dentistry.” Born...
Impression Material vs. Medelita Lab Coats
The number one question we hear at dental conferences is, “Does impression material stain your lab coats?” I’m proud to say that the answer is no. Impression material is often used to obtain an impression of a patient’s teeth and the surrounding oral tissues. A dental impression is created by placing the liquid impression material...
Why White?
Did you know that lab coats were originally beige? Prior to the adoption of lab coats in the medical profession, beige lab coats were generally worn by scientists. In the late 19th century, doctors adapted the tradition to symbolize a scientific approach to medicine. However, they changed the color from beige to white. Historically, clerics...
The White Coat Ceremony: A Transition to Independence
With the Fourth of July approaching, I cannot help but to reflect upon the idea of Independence.

For many of us, our first symbol of independence is...

Effort vs. Expectation
When talking in terms of companies or employees, we often label people as ‘hard workers’. I’ve been thinking quite a lot lately about the role that effort plays within the context of work. It’s undeniably the most important piece of the puzzle – afterall, without effort, everything else becomes irrelevant. But is effort alone enough...
The Button Theory
Many of us at Medelita are fans of Patagonia. Let My People Go Surfing, by Patagonia Founder, Yvon Chouinard, has served as an inspiration for some of our Medelita policies. The following excerpt is a prime example: Let’s take a close look at a loose button and the consequences depending on who happens to discover...
