HOW TO CHOOSE

Depending on the type of work you do, you will require different accessories for comfort, and it is also essential that they facilitate hygiene during your working day. 

• Sanitary pyjamas: the most important thing when choosing this set of coat and trousers is that the fabric is the least prone to the propagation of microorganisms, that it does not produce static (to avoid possible explosions), is resistant to chemical substances and is blue or green in colour to contribute to the visual aesthetics of the sector. Currently, one of the most widely used fabrics is drill fabric (composed of vegetable fibre, cotton and spandex), whose resistance to washing and exposure in the workplace is the most recommended.  

Each one is suitable for a different use, for this reason there are designs with long or short sleeves, with front zip or buttons.

• Sanitary gowns: they prevent staining of the sanitary pyjamas and identify doctors and surgeons. You can find single-use gowns, or the common long-sleeved white gowns.
• Sanitary caps: these are an essential part of the sanitary wardrobe. They are usually disposable, as are masks, to guarantee safety and hygiene.
• Healthcare footwear: anatomical footwear with non-slip soles contributes to the comfort of healthcare workers during the working day. Health clogs are the most commonly used by doctors and nurses as they fit snugly to the foot and are made of breathable material.
