What Are Linen Scrubs, Anyway?

The name “Linen” refers to fabric made from fibers from the flax plant, either alone, or in combination with a percentage of cotton, or less frequently even other fibers, like bamboo. The natural color of linen ranges between shades of ivory, tan or grey – it is a natural fabric and these are natural colors. The fabric produced from the linen threads has a recognizable texture with a crisp and textured feel to it.

Scrubs made from linen have the ability to absorb and lose water quickly. They can gain up to 20% moisture without feeling damp and can quickly remove perspiration from the skin. This makes Linen Scrubs a perfect choice for nurses who work in hot or stressful environments and who wish to keep cool – a perfect summer scrubs choice! Since Linen Scrubs are a bit stiffer, though still soft, they are less likely to cling to your skin. When Linen Scrubs billow away from your body they dry out rapidly and become cool, so that the skin is continually touched by a cool surface. Sounds nice, doesn’t it?

Linen Scrubs are indeed strong and durable and linen is one of the few fabrics which is stronger when it is wet than it is when dry. This helps it maintain durability through the constant launderings scrubs must endure. Linen Scrubs are naturally resistant to dirt and stains due to the nature of the flax fibers. For nurses, this is great news.
