Grahame Gardner has unveiled a new scrub top and trouser range which uses antimicrobial technology to stay fresher longer.
The range, exclusive to Grahame Gardner, incorporates cutting-edge Micro-Fresh technology for garments that help to keep healthcare workers safe while also being comfortable.
The fabric, which is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, is incorporated with Micro-Fresh technology at point of manufacture. The antimicrobial technology not only kills 99.9% of bacteria beyond 50 washes but is also proven to reduce the spread of human coronavirus by 99.2%.
With wash-resistant antibacterial protection, Micro-Fresh also boasts odour prevention, providing longer-lasting freshness for the wearer. The scrubs are hypoallergenic, gentle on the skin and vegan-friendly.
The scrubs stocked by Grahame Gardner will be available in two fits – unisex and female – and the scrub top will be available in six colourways: Oasis, Navy, Eau de Nil, Bottle, Smoke Grey and Blue 18. Each features a classic contrasting white trim.
The trousers will be available in Navy, Bottle and Black.
Grahame Gardner will also offer all six scrub colours in its Made To Order range with a bespoke choice of trim colour.
The scrub top design features multiple pockets, including two waterproof chest pockets and a wearers’ right-hand hip pocket, which also has a pen divide and an elastic loop for a clip-on hand sanitiser. The trousers have a drawstring waist and also side and a back pockets.
A range of Micro-Fresh tie-back scrub caps will also be available in the same six colours to complement the scrubs, plus two additional colours – Black and Royal Blue.
