Technologically Advanced Medical Scrubs Innovator Launches Unique "Design Your Own" Capability

Online, November 10, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Performance Healthcare Products, Inc., makers of the first high-performance line of medical scrubs for the medical, dental and veterinary industries, has announced that customers will be able to actually 'design' their own scrubs by mixing and matching styles, sizes and even fabric and piping colors. This unique opportunity for handcrafted personalization exists due to Performance Healthcare Products being the only medical scrubs company manufacturing entirely in the United States.

Performance Scrubs utilize a proprietary, technologically-advanced material developed by Milliken & Company, one of the world's largest privately-held textile and chemical manufacturers. The product's design was developed with input from professional nurses, resulting in an antimicrobial scrub that combines comfort and function into a fashionable, exceedingly soft yet extraordinarily durable garment.

"We launched our line of scrubs with one thought in mind." said the company's founder and CEO Kirby Best. "And that was to provide health care professionals with the ultimate in medical scrubs based on their real life needs. And by now offering our customers the opportunity of moving past 'off the rack' purchasing and actually having some input into the look and fit of their uniforms we feel we've taken a big step towards meeting our goal."

Performance Scrubs, and their successful sweat-wicking sleepwear line Performance Sleepwear, are manufactured and distributed at the Performance Healthcare Products Inc. facility in Cullman, Alabama. The scientifically designed scrubs offer health care professionals a host of innovative benefits including sweat wicking, odor, stain and wrinkle resistance, body temperature control and no fading, fraying, change of fit or loss in antimicrobial properties throughout the lifetime of the garment. Offering the widest range of sizes available on the market, Small to 5XL, other unique features include three quarter sleeves for maximum protection and women's styles with criss-cross bra and mid-rise pants to address modesty issues. An ever growing variety of bold colors are available, including top college team colors, with all providing for mix and match fabric and piping combinations.

When asked why he made the decision to forego outsourcing like other scrubs companies and instead chose to manufacturer "at home," Best said the decision was easy. "We know our material is unlike anything on the market but beyond that we wanted to provide a personal experience to our customers. And manufacturing in the U.S. allows us that opportunity. For us, and for our customers, it's a "win-win" situation.
