That's why we developed NanoStretch, a next-generation scrub fabric engineered for comfort, movement, and performance – made for people who never stop moving. ### **The Science Behind NanoStretch** At first glance, NanoStretch scrubs look simple and sleek. But behind the design lies a carefully balanced blend of performance fibres: 42% Polyester | 19% Recycled Polyester | 19% Graphene | 16% Rayon | 4% Spandex This combination delivers flexibility, durability, and comfort in every shift – with fabric technology that adapts to high-tempo, high-touch roles. What sets NanoStretch apart: - 4-Way Stretch: Allows full range of motion for bending, lifting, and reaching without restriction - Balanced Weight (190gsm): Substantial enough to provide structure and coverage while still offering breathable comfort - Faster Drying: Dries faster than traditional polycotton or polyviscose blends, helping busy professionals manage quick turnarounds - Soft Touch: Rayon content provides a smooth, comfortable feel against the skin for all-day wear - Reduced Creasing: Designed to hold its shape well and resist significant wrinkling, keeping teams looking sharp throughout the day ### Designed for Real Work, Not the Runway Innovation isn't about flashy features – it's about function that makes a difference. NanoStretch scrubs were refined through feedback from healthcare and care sector professionals who told us what they really need: - Freedom to move without feeling restricted - Durable comfort that lasts through long shifts - Easy-care wearability between washes - A professional, modern look that fits how they work Every pocket, seam, and panel is purpose-built – blending movement, function, and performance into a scrub that actually supports the people who wear it. ### Innovation with a Lighter Footprint While NanoStretch isn't made entirely from recycled materials, it does include recycled polyester fibres, giving a portion of the fabric a more sustainable edge. It's a practical step forward in Arrow's ongoing commitment to responsible design and lower-impact uniform solutions. We're continuously working to integrate smarter, more sustainable materials – without compromising the performance and quality teams rely on. ### Ready to Move Better? When your day demands flexibility, reliability, and comfort that lasts, NanoStretch scrubs are designed to deliver.
