In 2023, more creativity, colour and cuts will emerge in medical dressing. After the pandemic, there will be a greater emphasis on the level of protection and functionality provided by clothing. The environmental impact will also be important, and therefore healthcare professionals will favour sustainable materials.

Colouring

Women's and men's medical garments available only in boring colours are a thing of the past. Manufacturers of medical clothing are marketing more and more models in different colours such as yellow, red, pink, green or purple. This gives healthcare professionals the opportunity to stand out or adapt the colours of their clothing to the environment in which they work.

Sustainability

Nowadays, we should place emphasis on sustainability in the production of any product. More and more consumers prefer to buy eco-friendly products that minimise pollution. Medical clothing is no exception.

The latest trend is medical clothing that is 100% recyclable and easy to maintain. Prolen® Medical clothing meets these characteristics and significantly saves energy, helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

Antibacterial fabrics

The need to protect medical staff and patients will always be more important than design. That is why medical facilities will focus on the level of protection that the clothing provides when making their selection. The trend will be to choose clothing that prevents the transmission of infections.

For example, Prolen® Medical' s antibacterial and antiviral clothing is designed to destroy pathogens and protect against nosocomial infections that are associated with healthcare.

Functionality

More pockets will be added to new models of medical clothing to help healthcare workers in their daily tasks. They can use the pockets as a pen holder or for instruments.

In order to make clothes truly functional, comfort will also be considered. Some fibres, such as the polypropylene fibre used to make Prolen® Medical clothing, have excellent thermoregulating properties. They keep the skin dry and wick away moisture, providing medical professionals with wearing comfort.
