Medical Clothing for Nurses

Medical Workwear for Nurses 

On the ward, you're the person patients see most often and the one they stop in the corridor. Nurses' medical workwear works alongside you for hours at a time, withstanding dozens of bends over the bed, quick trips between rooms and regular laundering. It needs to keep up with that pace, give you freedom of movement and, at the same time, create a professional, clearly identifiable appearance. 

Fabric for a twelve-hour shift and the wash that follows 

Contact with all kinds of soiling, disinfectants and frequent washing means that nurses' scrubs are subjected to heavy use every single day. Our styles are made from fabrics designed for the daily demands of professional use and are certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, Class I. The SILVERPRO+ finish with silver ions helps limit the growth of microorganisms and neutralise unpleasant odours, supporting your comfort throughout a long shift. 

A cut and pockets for everything you carry 

Scissors, a tourniquet, pens, your phone and small accessories - plenty of things need to stay within reach while you work. That's why a well-chosen nursing scrub top should combine freedom of movement with conveniently placed pockets. The Arras top has three front pockets and darts that gently shape the silhouette. Vannes, one of Louis Lanier's bestselling styles, also offers three pockets, along with side vents that provide greater freedom when bending and moving. 

Night rounds call for quiet 

At three in the morning, you're checking a cannula on a sleeping patient. During night rounds, what matters isn't only comfort but also how your clothing behaves as you move. Soft fabrics that feel good against the skin, combined with simple finishing details, can make work more comfortable in the quiet of a night ward. Well-chosen nursing scrubs should allow you to move freely between rooms, whatever the hour. 

Your size, without the guesswork 

Every style comes with a size chart in centimetres and instructions on how to take your measurements. When choosing workwear for your shift, consider not only how it fits your figure but also how much room you need when bending over a bed, raising your arms or helping a patient. Cuts vary from one style to another, so it's worth checking the chart separately for tops and trousers. If you're unsure, get in touch - we'll help you find the right size. 

Personalisation and sets for your ward 

Selected styles can be personalised with embroidery featuring your name, professional title or facility logo. To complete a nursing scrub set, add the solid-colour Livo cap or one of our printed styles, such as Happy Hand or Pastel Garden. Colourful motifs can be a particularly lovely choice for paediatric wards. Team orders are arranged individually, including colour options and delivery dates.

FAQ 

A scrub set or a medical dress on the ward? 

For work that involves frequent bending, moving between rooms and helping patients, a nursing scrub set can offer greater freedom of movement than a medical dress. A top and trousers work well throughout an active shift, while a medical dress can be a practical option for clinic-based work, consultations or settings where it better suits your facility's working practices. 

Which nursing scrub trousers work best for a twelve-hour shift? 

It's worth choosing styles that allow you to walk, bend and crouch at the bedside with ease. Clamart trousers remain soft and stretchy throughout the shift while retaining their shape well. Rennes is a good option for anyone who prefers a looser fit, with a wider leg and more room to move. 

How do I choose the right size of nursing workwear? 

Measure your chest, waist and hips, then compare your measurements with the size chart for that particular style. Cuts vary from one style to another, so check the chart separately for tops and trousers. It's also worth allowing enough room for the movement you need when bending, raising your arms and working at the bedside. If you're unsure, we'll help you find the right size before you order. 

How should I wash nursing workwear so it lasts longer? 

Always follow the care instructions on the label for that particular style. Louis Lanier garments should be washed at the temperature recommended by the manufacturer - for many styles, that's up to 40°C. Regular, proper care helps preserve the colour, shape and properties of the fabric for longer. Avoid washing at temperatures above those recommended and using products that could affect the fabric's structure or performance. 

Can I order embroidered workwear for the whole nursing team? 

Yes. We offer embroidery featuring a name, professional title or facility logo, including for larger team orders. You can order coordinated nursing scrub sets to match your ward's colours and visual identity. Get in touch and we'll work out the details, including colours and the delivery date.
