Medical scrubs manufacturer in Bangladesh

Scrubs are washed harder than almost any other clothing: laundries serving hospitals often wash at 60 to 75 degrees with strong chemistry, sometimes after every shift. Hospitals, clinic groups, uniform distributors and scrub brands buy them in poly cotton or polyester elastane twill and poplin, usually 150 to 200 GSM. A medical scrubs manufacturer in Bangladesh has to hold shade across years of reorders, keep pockets where staff expect them and prove any finish named on the label.

Garments Hub BD matches scrub orders with factories that sew uniform and workwear programmes in woven poly cotton. These garments are textiles, not medical devices: a surgical gown that claims a barrier against fluids falls under medical device rules and needs a different kind of maker. Industrial workwear has its own page.

Kinds of medical scrubs

Scrub tops

V neck or mock wrap, set in or raglan sleeve, two to four pockets with a pen slot and badge loop. Unisex boxy blocks suit large programmes; fitted blocks with darts or princess seams suit scrub brands.

Scrub trousers

Drawcord, elastic or combined waist, straight or jogger leg, cargo and phone pockets. Programmes often need short, regular and tall leg lengths in every waist size.

Lab coats

Hip or knee length in poly cotton twill or poplin, notch collar, button or popper front, chest and hip pockets. Whites must stay white, so fabric and laundering both matter.

Patient gowns

Back opening, tie or popper fastening, generous sizing. Simple to sew but laundered hardest of all, so poppers and ties are where they fail first.

Stretch scrubs

Polyester viscose elastane or polyester elastane twill, usually 3 to 8 percent elastane, for brands selling fit and comfort. The elastane has to survive the laundry it will meet.

What a medical scrubs manufacturer in Bangladesh needs from you

Fabric blend and weight

Poly cotton, often 65/35, or a polyester elastane blend, usually 150 to 200 GSM. More polyester dries faster and holds colour; more cotton feels softer but fades sooner.

Laundering route

Hospital laundry, commercial laundry or home washing, and at what temperature. The route decides the fabric, the dyes and the tests.

Colour by role

Each role's colour as a physical standard. Programmes often colour code by department, and a reorder must match the garments already on the ward.

Pockets and loops

Number, size and position of pockets, pen slots, badge loops and key loops. Staff notice a moved pocket before a changed shade.

Block and size range

Unisex or fitted blocks, the size range and the leg length options. Short and tall lengths add markers but cut returns.

Finishes

Fluid repellent, antimicrobial or soil release only with a test plan, and a statement of how many washes the finish must last.

Laundry and finish tests for medical scrubs

ISO 15797

Industrial laundering procedures for workwear. Use it to test colour, shrinkage and finishes after the number of laundry cycles you agree with the lab.

ISO 105-C06

Colour fastness to washing, run at a temperature that reflects the laundry rather than a home wash. Navy, wine and ceil blue shades need it most.

ISO 5077 with ISO 6330

Dimensional change. Poly cotton usually moves little; cotton rich scrubs need pre shrunk fabric or a pattern allowance.

ISO 4920 or AATCC 22

Spray rating for water repellency. It supports a water repellent claim only and says nothing about resistance to blood or viruses.

ISO 12945-2

Pilling. Polyester blends pill at thighs and cuffs after repeated laundering, so ask for a grade after washing.

What moves the price of medical scrubs

• Fabric blend and stretch: elastane blends cost more than plain poly cotton.
• Finishes such as fluid repellent or antimicrobial, and the lab testing that backs them.
• Pocket count and features: cargo pockets, pen slots, zip pockets and loops each add operations.
• Length options, since short and tall legs split cutting into more markers.
• Colours per programme, because every department shade carries its own dye lot minimum.

Lead time for medical scrubs

First scrub orders spend longest on colour: each department shade needs its own lab dip, and a programme may have several. Sample sets usually take 7 to 14 days. Bulk follows in the bench range of 30 to 60 days after PP approval. A multi cycle laundering test to ISO 15797, or a finish durability test, adds days before the PP sample can be signed, and the quote sets them out.

What we check on medical scrubs before shipment

• Shade against the standardEach colour is compared with the approved standard and with a retained piece from the last delivery, so a reorder matches the ward.
• Pocket and loop placementPocket positions, pen slot widths and badge loops are measured against the spec on every size.
• Waist and drawcordDrawcords are checked for secure stitching at the centre back, and waist elastic for recovery, a frequent cause of returns.
• Size and length labelsSize labels, short, regular and tall marks, and care labels are checked against the size ratio before packing.
