The Complete Guide to Medical Scrub Fabrics: Types, Weights, and Weaves

Not all polyesters are created equal. Understanding fabric science can save you thousands of dollars in wrong investments. Today, we’ll explain three core concepts:

1. Weight (GSM): Represents fabric thickness. For summer or high-intensity work, 160-180 GSM is recommended; for air-conditioned wards, 210 GSM or above is better.

2. Weave: Poplin is crisp and professional, while Twill is durable and textured. Knit provides ultimate stretch, usually used for side panels or cuffs.

3. Composition: Polyester provides durability and wrinkle resistance, Spandex provides stretch, and Rayon provides a soft touch. GEGIX’s proprietary blend offers motion-level comfort while maintaining a professional look.

At GEGIX, we offer multiple fabric options to meet the needs of every environment, from tropical clinics to high-altitude hospitals.
