What the AI looks for in Women's Medical Scrub Pants
- Inseam option
- Choose petite, regular or tall so the hem sits off the floor. Dragging hems fray and pick up contamination.
- Waistband
- Elastic plus drawstring, or a yoga-style band, for 12-hour shifts. A drawstring-only waist loosens and digs in during long shifts.
- Stretch
- At least some spandex in the blend if you squat, kneel or lift. Rigid poly-cotton pants bind at the knee and seat.
- Leg style
- Jogger, straight or flare, chosen to suit your footwear and your unit's dress code. Some units restrict jogger or flare styles, and leg style decides where the hem sits on the shoe.
Brands that matter
- FIGS: Premium joggers and fitted pants.
- Healing Hands: Fitted stretch lines.
- Dickies: Durable value cargo pants.
- Cherokee: The widest sizing and inseam range.
What to avoid
- Pants without an inseam choice if you are notably short or tall.
- Drawstring-only waists for long shifts.
