Scrubs Fabric Supplier for Medical Uniforms

Shaoxing Fuxing Textile Technology Co., Ltd. is a woven Scrubs Fabric manufacturer based in Keqiao, Shaoxing, China. Founded in 2002, we operate a 50,000 m2 facility with 128 imported Italian rapier looms and a team of 150+ textile engineers, quality specialists and account staff, and we supply more than 10 million meters of woven fabric a year to customers in 20+ countries and regions. Our medical output is reusable woven cloth for scrub sets, ward and nursing uniforms, clinic tunics, lab coats and surgical apparel, finished for fluid repellency, antimicrobial performance and dimensional stability through repeated industrial laundering.

The Scrubs Fabric Range We Supply

Within our Medical Apparel Fabric category, each scrubs construction has a defined garment role rather than serving as a generic healthcare cloth. Protection level is handled as a configuration choice, so the same base cloth can be finished for daily care, low-risk procedures or the operating room.

Fabric and Garment Matching

The mapping below reflects how we build each construction and the finishing route we apply against the clinical setting you describe.

What the Fabrics Are Built to Do

Medical apparel performance is decided by the finish and the base cloth together. A repellent finish on a loosely woven greige will not hold a rating, and a dense cloth with poor recovery fails in the laundry before it fails on the ward. We build both sides of that equation.

• Fluid repellency: tested to AAMI PB70 and achievable at Level 1 to Level 3 depending on construction and finishing, with the level selected against the clinical setting rather than applied uniformly across the range.
• Antimicrobial performance: silver-ion technology with bacterial reduction above 99% against S. aureus, E. coli and K. pneumoniae, retained through 75+ industrial washes.
• Antistatic series: conductive carbon yarns woven into the cloth for operating room environments, tested to EN 1149-5 to prevent electrostatic charge accumulation.
• Dimensional stability: fabrics are pre-shrunk with shrinkage controlled within 2% under AATCC 135, so garments keep size and seam integrity across the wash cycle.
• Wash durability: engineered for 75+ industrial washes and repeated high-temperature sterilization, the practical boundary between reusable woven cloth and disposable nonwoven.
• Wearability: breathable, soft hand feel and stretch where the garment needs it, because a uniform that is uncomfortable in hour ten gets replaced long before it wears out.

Construction, Composition and Hand Feel

Our medical fabrics are woven on rapier looms from polyester and rayon blends, with spandex added in the weft where four-way stretch is specified. Polyester contributes strength, color retention and wrinkle recovery; rayon contributes softness and drape against the skin. Twill constructions give a smooth, durable face, while the stretch component keeps scrub trousers and tunics from binding during movement.

Because the cloth is woven rather than bonded, it holds seam strength and shape through repeated laundering, which is why hospital uniform programs specify it. Hand feel is tuned at finishing: too much surface softness reduces repellency, and too little produces a stiff garment that staff resist wearing. We set that balance against the sample you approve. The same loom floor also runs our Women's Suiting Fabric range, keeping weaving, dyeing and inspection under one quality system.

Color, Finishing and Colorfastness

Our medical fabrics are piece dyed, with color developed against your reference or a nominated color standard. Solid shades dominate clinical programs, and we hold dye lot consistency by controlling the process from yarn procurement through to finished fabric. Finishing sequences combine pre-shrinking, repellent application and antimicrobial treatment without compromising hand feel.

• Colorfastness testing covers washing, rubbing, light, perspiration and chlorine bleaching, which matters where chlorine-based disinfection is used.
• Chlorine-resistant shades and repeat-order color matching are handled at the dyeing stage rather than corrected later.
• All products comply with OEKO-TEX Standard 100, so the finished cloth carries no harmful substance risk against skin contact.

Customization, Sampling and Development

We work as an OEM and ODM supplier on this category. Our in-house sample development center can replicate a fabric you already run or develop a new construction from a brief, and it is equipped with sample weaving, sample warping and dyeing prototype machinery, so trials do not wait for a production slot.

• Regular sample lead time is 5-12 days, with urgent requests negotiated at inquiry stage.
• Ingredient adjustments, weave and organization changes, and color customization are handled as sample work.
• Weight, width, stretch level, surface structure and finishing can be set against your garment specification.
• The same base cloth can be finished at different protection levels, so a program can run several clinical settings from one construction family.

Production Control and Traceability

Each meter passes eight main processes with at least three intermediate inspections, from raw material procurement and detection through warping, sizing, weaving, fabric inspection, post finishing and final packing. An ERP system records production data at every stage, so each batch can be traced back through the line. Our own laboratory tests every batch internally, and third-party test reports are arranged where a program requires them. Bulk production is typically 25-30 days, planned against the confirmed sample and order quantity, and annual capacity above 10 million meters supports both recurring uniform programs and new range launches.

• Physical testing: abrasion, pilling, breaking strength, tear strength.
• Color fastness: washing, rubbing, light, perspiration, chlorine bleaching.
• Dimensional stability: shrinkage rate and distortion rate.
• Functional testing on medical fabrics: liquid penetration resistance, antibacterial performance, antistatic behavior, plus fiber composition identification and content.

Compliance Evidence and Documentation

Medical fabric programs are audited on paperwork as much as on cloth. We supply technical datasheets, samples and compliance documentation with quotations and orders, and we test to the standards below where the fabric is intended for those applications.

Information We Use to Configure Your Fabric Proposal

A useful quotation on scrubs fabric depends on knowing how the garment will be used, not only how it should look. These are the inputs we work from when we select a base cloth, set the finishing route and plan the order.

• Garment type and styling: scrub set, hospital uniform, lab coat, surgical gown or isolation apparel.
• Clinical setting and required protection level, including whether antistatic performance is needed.
• Composition preference, and any existing fabric reference to match or improve on.
• Weight in GSM, width, stretch direction and stretch percentage, and the hand feel you want.
• Color, color standard, and any chlorine or disinfection exposure in the laundry.
• Order quantity, expected repeat order volume and the delivery schedule the program runs on.
• Testing requirements, including nominated standards and whether third-party reports are needed.
• Packing, labeling and shipment destination requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your scrubs fabrics reusable or disposable?

They are reusable woven fabrics. Unlike disposable nonwovens, they are built to withstand 75+ industrial washes and repeated high-temperature sterilization, which makes them suitable for scrub sets, nurse uniforms, lab coats and surgical gowns in programs where garments are laundered and returned to service.

Which AAMI PB70 levels can you supply?

Our medical fabrics are tested to AAMI PB70 and can reach Level 1 to Level 3. The achievable level depends on the fabric construction and the finishing applied, so we set it against the clinical scenario you describe, from daily care through low-risk procedures and surgical use.

How long does the antimicrobial function last?

We use silver-ion antimicrobial technology, and the function is retained through 75+ industrial washes, with bacterial reduction remaining above 99% against S. aureus, E. coli and K. pneumoniae. Uniform replacement cycles are normally planned around wash frequency and the institution's hygiene policy.

Can you match a scrubs fabric we already use?

Yes. Our sample development center replicates customer references and develops new constructions from a brief. Ingredient adjustments, weave changes and color customization are handled as sample work, with regular samples delivered in 5-12 days and urgent requests negotiated at inquiry stage.

Does the fabric shrink or deform after industrial washing?

Fabrics are pre-shrunk with shrinkage controlled within 2% under AATCC 135. After 75 industrial washes the cloth retains dimensional stability and appearance without significant deformation or surface fuzzing, which is the property that keeps garment sizing consistent across a shared uniform pool.
