1. What are Jogger Scrubs?

Jogger scrubs are a general term for modern-cut scrubs used in medical apparel, featuring tapered (narrow) legs. Inspired by sportswear, this design differs from classic straight-leg scrubs by the presence of rib or elastic cuffs. The term jogger scrubs is derived from the English term "jogger pants" and has been adapted specifically for the healthcare sector.

The basic features of jogger scrub sets are as follows:

• Tapered Legs: The most distinctive feature of jogger scrub pants is their leg design, which tapers from the knee downwards and ends with ribbed elastic at the ankle. This prevents the leg from touching the ground, providing a superior hygiene advantage.
• Drawstring Waistband: Jogger scrubs typically feature both an elastic waistband and an adjustable drawstring. This detail allows for personalized waist adjustment.
• Cargo Pocket Detail: Unlike classic uniforms , jogger scrubs feature extra cargo pockets above the knee or on the side of the leg. This provides extra space for a phone, pen, and other security gear.
• Stretch Fabric with Lycra: Jogger scrub sets are typically made from polyviscose lycra fabric that stretches in four directions. This fabric doesn't require ironing, doesn't wrinkle, and doesn't pill.

Jogger scrubs are extremely practical to care for. They should be washed inside out at 30-40 degrees Celsius. After washing, hanging them to dry will naturally smooth out wrinkles, and they can be worn directly without ironing.
