Surgical clothing – For optimal protection in the medical environment

Choosing appropriate medical protective clothing is essential in the operating room, medical practice or laboratory. Medical protective clothing must protect both the wearer and the patient from potential infectious agents. Depending on the area of application, full head-to-toe protection may be required. Products are strictly controlled and must be certified accordingly, as medical protective clothing is part of personal protective equipment. In the DocCheck shop you will find all top products from renowned manufacturers for reliable protection for you and your patients.

Surgical clothing - Sterile and safe

Surgical aprons, pants and overshoes are among the basic equipment of medical personnel to be adequately protected in the operating room. They not only protect clothing from contact with body fluids, but also prevent possible contamination of open wounds. It is important that clothing be sterile. Surgical clothing is now preferably worn as disposable to ensure maximum sterility. HARTMANN offers high-quality kits for this purpose, consisting of a surgical gown and pants, which are sterile packaged and can be easily replaced after wearing, so they do not have to be reprocessed at great expense. In addition, single-use overshoes help reduce contamination and germs in the operating room.

Surgical hoods / Charlottes

Wearing a surgical cap reliably reduces contamination from skin and hair particles. Bacteria and other microorganisms on the scalp and hair can contaminate the surgical area. Thus, a surgical mask provides an effective barrier against germs.

Medical masks & FFP2 masks

A medical mask is not only a mandatory accessory in the dental office. When speaking and breathing, tiny aerosol particles are emitted, which can be full of viruses and germs. This opens the door for pathogens, especially in sensitive environments such as operating rooms, to spread and infect patients and caregivers. This is why a mask is an essential part of medical protective clothing. The mask is designed to filter the smallest particles from the air and effectively reduce their concentration. Respiratory protection masks, such as FFP2 masks, protect not only the patient but also the wearer from viruses and bacteria.

Color theory: why medical protective clothing is green and blue

Even today, the color white is considered a sign of hygiene, cleanliness and sterility. Doctors are conventionally dressed entirely in white, but the protective clothing worn in the operating room is mainly green and blue. This is mainly for practical reasons.

The color white blinds the human eye like a snowy landscape in sunlight because of the extremely bright light required during surgery. This also leads to the so-called afterimage effect: if you look at a dark object in too bright light for too long, the eye shifts the silhouette of the object to lighter surfaces. This can pose a significant safety risk while working.

Moreover, the colors green and blue have chromo-psychological characteristics: they have a balancing and calming effect on the human mind. This is a benefit not only for patients, but also for operating room staff who often have to work under extreme stress. Moreover, red blood stains are less noticeable on green or blue clothing than on white. Another pragmatic reason is that surgical clothing should always be cleaned separately from other laundry. The color separates quickly and facilitates washing.
