Origin of surgical gown color
Nov 25, 2022
The white coats worn by doctors in operating rooms of modern hospitals have been changed to green because:
When the human eye watches a color for a long time, the optic nerve is easily stimulated and tired. In order to alleviate this kind of fatigue, the optic nerve will induce a complementary color for self-regulation. During the operation, the doctor always sees bloodstains. After a long time, you will occasionally see "green blood" on your partner's white coat. It will cause visual confusion and affect the surgical effect. The use of light green clothing as surgical clothes can eliminate the green illusion and ensure the smooth operation.
Nurses in obstetrics and pediatrics usually wear pink. Because it is a soft color, symbolizing warmth and harmony, the baby can see such a beautiful color at first sight after birth, so it will grow lovely and beautiful. Children in pediatric hospitals are generally full of fear of white. The visual effect of pink is much better, which can reduce the fear of children in hospital.
