Sustainable Medical Scrubs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Barco One Wellness is Infused with Health-Promoting Bio-Minerals

— July 25, 2018 — Eco
Medical scrubs are commonly reinvented with a focus on providing highly functional, fashion-forward styles for the modern medical professional—but Barco Uniforms is now introducing Barco One Wellness as the first-ever sustainable medical scrub collection to incorporate bio-mineral fabric technology.

The Barco One Wellness garments are infused with health-promoting bio-minerals, which play a part in helping the body to regulate and recover itself. Specifically, these bio-minerals help to boost blood circulation, tissue oxygenation and provide a consistent, optimal body temperature. As such, this line includes a Far Infrared reflective finish on the inside of the fabric in the scrubs collection.

Additionally, the medical scrubs are also packed with other high-performance features, including four-way stretch, moisture-wicking properties and wrinkle resistance. Each Barco One scrub set repurposes 10 recycled plastic bottles.
