An operating theatre is a medical room where surgery is conducted in an aseptic environment. Taking into account the critical nature of the procedures performed in an operation theatre, strict controls and checks are put in place to prevent any transmission of infections that can be avoided.

In order to prevent the transfer of diseases and infections during surgery, all physicians and their surgical teams put on scrubs (surgical wear) and surgical gown,as they play a crucial role in warding off infections.There are strict codes regarding the disinfecting of scrubs & gowns before they are reused.

However, while treating a patient suffering from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), it becomes imperative that scrubs & surgical gowns should not be reused.

Surgical practices have evolved a specific common practice to include the treatment of people affected by HIV/AIDS through the use of medical disposables to eliminate the possibility of infection transfer.

To meet this requirement,manufacturers identify the need to produce high quality products yet inexpensive. The wide awareness about the dangers of infection of HIV and AIDS has made disposable medical wear almost a necessity, as its the only recourse to guarantee a sterile environment.

Originally, the garments were scrub suits & a surgical gown which came in one colour, either a blue or mint green. Disposable scrubs suits include the shirt and pant worn by the surgeon and surgical staff. They are generally unisex and are available in different colours and sizes.

Apart from disposable gowns, shirt and pantsie scrubs suits, italso includesdisposable surgical mask, cap, & beard cover for doctors, members of the surgical team and patients.

Today, we even include disposablefootwear designed to prevent the transfer of any contaminants.

Disposable scrubs also play a vital role in helping surgeons to prevent biohazards from leaving the operation theatre.

Thus, various disposable surgical apparels, such as gowns, scrubs, and shoe coverings due to their single-use feature, offer protection not only to patients and doctors but as well as to the surrounding environment once they are safely disposed off after use.
