Whois & Analysis for scrubsandbeyond.com

Scrubs are the sanitary clothing worn by surgeons, nurses, physicians and other workers involved in patient care in hospitals.

Originally designed for use by surgeons and other operating room personnel, who would put them on when sterilizing themselves, or "scrubbing in", before surgery, they are now worn by many hospital personnel.

Their use has been extended outside hospitals as well, to work environments where clothing may come into contact with infectious agents (veterinarians, midwives, etc).

Scrubs are designed to be simple (with minimal places for contaminants to hide), easy to launder, and cheap to replace if damaged or stained irreparably.

In the United Kingdom, scrubs are sometimes known as Theatre Blues.

Medical equipment (also known as armamentarium) is designed to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring or treatment of medical conditions.

The healthcare industry (also called the medical industry or health economy) is an aggregation and integration of sectors within the economic system that provides goods and services to treat patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative care.

It includes the generation and commercialization of goods and services lending themselves to maintaining and re-establishing health.

The modern healthcare industry is divided into many sectors and depends on interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals and paraprofessionals to meet health needs of individuals and populations.

A top is an item of clothing that covers at least the chest, but which usually covers most of the upper human body between the neck and the waistline.

The bottom of tops can be as short as mid-torso, or as long as mid-thigh.

Men's tops are generally paired with pants, and women's with pants or skirts.

Common types of tops are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.

A uniform is a type of clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity.

Modern uniforms are most often worn by armed forces and paramilitary organizations such as police, emergency services, security guards, in some workplaces and schools and by inmates in prisons.

In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in their duties; such is the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects.

For some public groups, such as police, it is illegal for non members to wear the uniform.

Other uniforms are trade dresses (such as the brown uniforms of UPS).
