Armscye and Sleeve Length: Ensuring Freedom of Movement in the ICU

Armscye and Sleeve Length: Ensuring Freedom of Movement in the ICU

Many nurses report that the most uncomfortable part of their scrubs is the underarm area. An armscye (armhole) that is too small chafes, while one that is too large causes the entire top to pull up when you raise your hand.

In high-stakes environments like the ICU, where large-scale, high-precision movements are required, sleeve fit directly impacts efficiency. GEGIX uses an 'Ergonomic Sleeve Base' design. Based on your chest and shoulder width data, we leave a reasonable allowance at the underarm.

Additionally, our customization options allow you to choose sleeve length. Whether you prefer the sharp look of exposed wrists or a slightly longer coverage, we can be precise down to the centimeter. Fit in the details is the ultimate mark of professionalism.
