Abstract
An improved hospital garment is herein disclosed. The garment is set forth in the context of a scrub top having a main body designed to extend from the shoulders to the hips of the wearer, short sleeves, two pockets located along the bottom of the main body, a V-shaped neckline, and a plurality of snap-type closures located at the front center of the garment to hold it closed. The hospital scrub top includes an improved fabric that weaves together two yarn types with at least one of the types being an elastomeric or hyper-elastic yarn such as LYCRA®, and the other being a synthetic or blend of natural and synthetic fibers such as cotton and polyester. This unique blend of polyester/cotton and elastomeric yarns creates a woven fabric having increased shape retention, versatility, and useful life (i.e. resistance to snagging, fiber fatigue, shrinkage, pinholing) as compared to those of conventional scrubs, and the wrinkle-free nature of the fabric permits the hospital scrub to be readily laundered without the need for ironing.
