What sort of workwear is suitable for care work and medical practices?
In the healthcare sector, hygiene dictates the choice: clothing must be washed regularly at high temperatures, often using industrial methods. This rules out delicate finishes — embroidery is the most durable solution here. Added to this is the need for freedom of movement, as care work is physically demanding.
