* ■About the first medical wear of jointly developed “Champion”* “Easiness that suits your smile”
Based on the concept of “Champion,” we have created medical clothing that is friendly to medical workers and the environment by using colors unique to Champion, functionality that takes into account ease of use in medical settings, and using environmentally friendly materials. I made it happen.
・*Comfort*
The scrub uses polyester yarn that absorbs twice as much water as regular polyester and dries quickly to keep you dry and comfortable. It is a comfortable and highly functional material that does not sweat easily even when worn for long periods of time, and is lightweight, stretchy, and cool to the touch.
* ・Diversity*
We have unified the design for both men and women to respect diversity and foster a sense of unity. A unisex scrub that can be worn by anyone regardless of age or gender, providing “team medical care” just like a team sport.
I am directing.
* ・Reduction of overtime work*
With the aim of reducing overtime work, we have adopted two colors: one for day shifts (gray) and one for night shifts (burgundy). By color-coding, it is possible to clearly distinguish between night shifts and day shifts, and it is possible to encourage employees who are working overtime to finish their shifts.
* ・Sustainability*
We use “Ecoplane Double,” an advanced environmentally friendly polyester material that uses some plant-derived raw materials. Click here for the EC site: https://onward-raffiria.shop/
* ■Voices from nurses wearing Champion medical wear at Tochigi Cancer Center* ・I feel that the scrub is much lighter than the previous one and has better breathability.
・Compared to the previous wear, there is more room overall, allowing for a wider range of motion.
・You won’t have to worry about sweat stains even if you wear gray for day shifts.
* ■Comment from Kimiko Fujii, Director of Nursing, Tochigi Cancer Center* The deciding factor in introducing Champion medical wear this time is that it has a design that anyone can wear without feeling
uncomfortable, regardless of their age or gender. I am glad that we introduced this product because it is lightweight and has excellent breathability, and does not restrict the various movements of nurses. * ■Tochigi Prefectural Cancer Center Overview*
