Surgical Attire
Surgical attire refers to the specialized clothing worn by medical professionals during surgical procedures. This attire typically includes items such as scrubs, surgical masks, caps, and shoe covers. The primary purpose of surgical attire is to maintain a sterile environment, reducing the risk of infection for both patients and healthcare workers.
Wearing proper surgical attire is essential in operating rooms. Scrubs are designed to be easily cleaned and are often made from materials that resist the absorption of fluids. Surgical masks and caps help prevent the spread of bacteria from the surgical team to the patient, while shoe covers protect the sterile environment from contaminants brought in from outside.
