Surgical greens have an intriguing history in our culture. Named after the color, surgical greens have been a part of surgical attire since the 1970s. Why choose the color green? Well, interestingly, surgical greens can be of any shade of green, but offered a high contrast in an often white, sterile environment. Green scrubs simply reduced the amount of eye fatigue experienced by the surgical team.
However, in recent years more and more green scrubs have been seen out of the surgical environment. A nasty strain of Staphylococcus aureus happens to be methicillin-resistant, and the need for sterility is vitally important. This sterility is necessary not only in the surgical environment but in the complete medical setting.
While white scrubs do have the additional benefit of giving a cleanliness factor, green scrubs do not show blood and other colors as pronounced. Lets face it; a doctor looks better in clean green scrubs than in white, stained scrubs.
Green scrubs come in many shades of green, and have changed since their inception in the 1970s. Some things have remained the same such as the common v-neck and the drawstring pants.
