Medelita Helps Doctors Embrace New Technology

While a casual observer might think that all lab coats are alike, anyone who spends more than 2000 hours a year wearing medical apparel can attest -- it’s often the details that make a big difference. That’s why Medelita has developed a collection of women’s lab coats and medical scrubs, with not only comfort and performance in mind, but with an eye on modern style, using the newest designs and fabric technologies available.

As little as ten years ago, a medical professional only needed to worry about carrying around a note pad and a stethoscope from patient to patient. Long hours spent scanning over countless books and journals are replaced by smartphones and other handheld devices that deliver research to the fingertips of healthcare practitioners. Innumerous programs are now available for download, to assist medical professionals in everything from identifying a pill based on size, shape and color, to viewing an MRI scan or X-Ray right on their touch screen. No wonder more than two-thirds of doctors now use some sort of PDA during their work hours.

As the medical profession continues to evolve with the times, Medelita hasn’t missed a beat, taking the transport of PDA and smartphones into consideration when designing lab coats and medical scrubs. The company has created a line of apparel that deliberates on everything from the placement of the pockets, to the variety of fabric, each with its own unique performance characteristics, that is designed with the dedicated medical professional in mind.

Doctors, nurses, dentists and other professionals are always on the go, and an accessible, secure spot is needed for smartphones and other important devices. Medelita offers lab coats with rounded front pockets, providing both functionality and security, as well as nursing and clinical scrubs that feature pants with back or side panel pockets — perfect for transporting gadgets wherever they are needed.

In addition to innovative design and style, Medelita products offer revolutionary technology in a place where very few people would imagine: the fabric. To help medical professionals deal with stains and odors on their lab coats or scrubs, Medelita’s performance-enhanced fabrics provide modern innovations that more than make up for cost of replacing cheap lab coats and scrubs:

-Dri-release® Microblend Performance Fabric, which helps Medelita medical scrubs absorb moisture from the skin and release it into the air at a faster rate than regular performance fabric or cotton. In addition, Dri-release does not wash out, discolor with perspiration or have that annoying static cling.

-The environmentally friendly and non-abrasive FreshGuard®, which is woven directly into Medelita scrubs, limits bacterial growth and neutralizes odor during shifts.

-DuPont™ Teflon® fabric protector aggressively fights stains on lab coats. Both water and oil based spills are repelled by an invisible molecular barrier built around the individual fibers.

- High IQ® Easycare Plus which is a special high tech finish that helps minimize the wrinkling of a Medelita lab coat.

While medical professionals’ greatest assets are their own intellect and judgment, there is an ever evolving plethora of technology – the devices they carry and new, performance fabrics - that is helping them on a daily basis. Medelita weaves this performance and functionality into its medical apparel for a stylish, comfortable fit that is truly working with healthcare practitioners throughout the day.
