Our lab coats do. We are establishing a new paradigm in the medical apparel industry. In fact, our aim isn't to simply make “lab coats and uniforms,” rather, we strive to coats and scrubs that are specifically tailored to be physician coats and scrubs for doctors. Our products help physicians and clinicians look and feel comfortable, confident, and professional in front of patients and colleagues. From the time we started this company, we strongly felt that these coats should be named after notable pioneers in medicine as a gesture of appreciation and respect for the groundwork they laid in advancing the field. We’ve named our lab coats after some very special people whose work is reflected in our every day lives as medical professionals. We know this is just a small gesture but it is indicative of attention to detail in every one of our products:
Pierre Fauchard (Fauchard Lab Coat) - MEN'S DENTAL LAB COAT
The "father of modern dentistry", Pierre Fauchard (1678 - 1761) developed innovative dental tools and procedures. He often described himself as a "Chirurgien Dentiste"(Surgical dentist) - a term that would later become the title of his now-famous book.
Alexander Fleming (Fleming Lab Coat) - MEN'S MID LENGTH LAB COAT
Credited with the discovery of penicillin, Sir Alexander Fleming (1881 – 1955) was a student of good fortune. Fleming was sorting through long unattended stacks of petri dishes when he noticed a mold that would turn out to be one of most famous and powerful antibiotics.
René Laennec (Laennec Lab Coat) - MEN'S CLASSIC FIT IPAD LAB COAT
In the early 1800s, placing an ear against a patient’s chest was a mortifying practice for the vast majority of female patients. On one particularly embarrassing occasion, René Laennec (1781 – 1826) rolled a piece of paper into a cylinder and alas, the stethoscope was born.
William Osler, MD (Osler Lab Coat) - MEN'S CLASSIC FIT FULL LENGTH IPAD LAB COAT
One of the "Big Four" founding professors at Johns Hopkins Hospital, William Osler, M.D. (1849 - 1919) was a pathologist, physician, educator, historian, author, and a practical joker. An advocate of patient-centric medicine, he was the first to bring medical students out of the lecture hall and into a clinical setting.
Lucy Hobbs Taylor, DDS (Lucy H.T. Lab Coat) - WOMEN'S DENTAL LAB COAT
Known as "the woman who pulls teeth", Lucy Hobbs Taylor (1833 - 1910) opened her own dental practice after being denied admission to medical school based on her gender. After several years of treating her own patients, she became the first woman in U.S. history to earn a doctorate in dentistry.
Elizabeth Blackwell, MD (Elizabeth B. Lab Coat) - WOMEN'S CONSULTATION COAT
The first woman to receive a medical degree from an American school, Elizabeth Blackwell (1821 - 1910) was admitted to medical school when the student body believed her application was a practical joke and endorsed it. Despite opposition, she graduated first in her class, becoming the first U.S. female doctor of medicine.
Elsie Gerlach, DDS (Elsie G. Lab Coat) - WOMEN'S CUFFED SLEEVE LAB COAT
Named the first superintendent of the Children's Clinic at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, Elsie Gerlach, DDS (1900 - 1967) became nationally known and respected as a pioneer in the teaching and development of pediatric dentistry.
