Velilla 535207 microfibre healthcare scrub top: the top half, with short sleeves
The microfibre top of the Velilla healthcare scrub set. 140 g/m² fabric with antibacterial and liquid-repellent treatment, V-neck and short sleeves. It is sold as a single item: the price is for the top only, not the full scrub set. The matching trousers, in the same fabric and the same eleven colours, are reference 533007.
✅ Features
V-neck: pulls on and off over the head without messing up or dragging the hair, and leaves the stethoscope area free.
Short sleeves: the standard in healthcare, because hand hygiene protocols require forearms to be bare below the elbow.
Antibacterial treatment: slows bacterial growth between washes and reduces odour at the end of a long shift.
Liquid-repellent: watery splashes run off instead of soaking in immediately.
Two lower patch pockets: for the ward notebook, phone or marker pen.
Only 140 g/m²: the lightest top in the range, ideal for warm wards and for summer.
👷 Suitable for
Hospitals, health centres and private practices.
Dental clinics, physiotherapy, podiatry and optometry.
Veterinary clinics and dog grooming.
Analysis laboratories and pharmacies.
Beauty centres, spas and wellness resorts.
Care homes and home care services.

🧺 Care
Wash at 60 °C. Dries very quickly and needs hardly any ironing.
Do not use fabric softener: it progressively cancels out the repellent finish.
Do not use chlorine bleach.
Iron at low temperature.
Suitable for industrial laundering on a standard 60 °C cycle.
💡 Tip: The microfibre top and trousers are sold separately on purpose, and it pays to take advantage of this: in most teams, top and bottom sizes do not match. Buy the top by chest measurement and the trousers by hip measurement, instead of ordering the same letter size for both pieces. It is the number one cause of size exchanges in uniform orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the trousers included?
No. The 535207 is the top only. The matching trousers, in microfibre and in the same eleven colours, are reference 533007.
Why is it short-sleeved, and why is there no long-sleeve version in this fabric?
Because in healthcare, hand hygiene protocols require forearms to be bare below the elbow. Long sleeves are reserved for gowns that are taken off when washing hands.
Does the antibacterial treatment wear off with washing?
It degrades gradually, and much faster if fabric softener or bleach is used. Washed at 60 °C with normal detergent and no fabric softener, it lasts the usual service life of the garment.
Can it withstand industrial washing at 90 degrees?
The manufacturer specifies 60 °C. At 90 °C the fibre holds up, but the antibacterial and repellent finishes are lost much sooner.
Can it be sterilised in an autoclave?
No. Polyester microfibre is not approved for autoclaving. Specific sterile garments are used in operating theatres.
What size should I order?
The top is chosen by chest measurement. Do not assume it matches your trouser size: that is why they are sold separately.
Is it suitable for beauty or veterinary work?
Yes. It is a standard healthcare and services garment; the eleven-colour palette is exactly what veterinary clinics, beauty centres and spas look for to stand out from hospital white.
