Lara Francisco, PA-C, founder of Medelita, believes that “good enough” is never good enough. After deciding that 100% cotton just wasn’t durable enough for our customers/colleagues, she developed a new proprietary fabric that would far exceed the performance of any other lab coat - ever.

A premature baby born in a developed country will be placed in an incubator until the child can survive on its own. These infants almost always survive.
