Breast Cancer Scrubs are Scrubs with a Purpose

The American Cancer Society estimates that by the end of 2013, about 40,000 women will die from breast cancer. So although in general, there is a significant decrease in breast cancer cases over the past few years, we cannot stop our battle against this deadly disease. If you’re a nurse, you can show your support by buying breast cancer scrubs.

What are breast cancer scrubs?

These scrubs are sometimes called ‘breast cancer awareness scrubs.’ They are medical scrubs that support a charity whose advocacy is in line with the reduction of breast cancer cases, or with helping patients cope with this disease. So if you buy one of these scrubs, profits will go to any of these charities, depending on which one the scrub manufacturer supports. Some of the charities include the following:

• National Breast Cancer Foundation
• Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation
• Breast Cancer Research Foundation
• Breast Cancer Alliance
• National Breast Cancer Coalition Fun

These scrubs may also refer to scrubs that have a pink ribbon incorporated in their design. Some of the scrub manufacturers that offer breast cancer scrubs include:

• Cherokee
• Dickies
• Koi Happiness
• White Swan
• Peaches
• Barco Uniforms
• Uniform Advantage

What are the most stylish brands that offer breast cancer scrubs?

1. Uniform Advantage (UA)

UA did a good job in creating breast cancer awareness scrubs. From the color combination of the prints up to the design, you’ll definitely be impressed. One of the company’s best-selling srub is their ‘butterfly hope 4-pocket print top.’ In this top, pink breast cancer ribbons are given wings and they come in different sizes. It also has a light pink inset, and the collar is accented with a solid pink color.

Other styles that have this design include their v-neck top, round-neck top, and jacket.

2. White Swan

White Swan’s mock wrap top has two roomy pockets, a drawstring bodies, and side vents that make it easier for you to move. But the best part is the stylish design. Hearts of varying shades of pink adorn the whole wrap, and the pink ribbons float with them.

3. Barco

Barco’s long sleeve tees are to die for. They are unlike the usual print scrub tops that you see in your favorite brand’s catalogue. Instead of images, these tops are adorned with words that send out a strong message. Some of the words include ‘courage,’ ‘hope,’ and ‘love.’

4. Koi Happiness

If you’re looking for a feminine top, you can count on Koi to give you what you want. Check out their mock wrap called ‘Compassion’ and you’ll definitely like the feminine color combination. The hems and edges are given a pink outline, and the ribbons blend in with the floral design of the top.

• cosmetic bag
• tee shirt
• long sleeve tee
• flannel pants
• print jacket
• utility scissors
