University Hospitals Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute Outfits Entire Staff with Technical Scrubs from Kyūr

The Institute is the first in the United States to choose medical scrubs aligned with uniforms worn by professional athletes, soldiers and astronauts.

CLEVELAND, OH, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Work days at the University Hospitals (UH) Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute just got a whole lot more comfortable.

Last month, the 180-member staff was outfitted with custom performance scrubs from Kyūr, a medical brand for elite healthcare professionals.

The medical staff at the UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute is now the first in the United States to be provided with technical medical scrubs that more directly reflect the uniforms worn by professional athletes, soldiers and astronauts.

“Delivering the next generation of high-level sports medicine and orthopedic care is a very physical job with high demands, just like athletes,” said James Voos, MD, Chairman, Department of Orthopedic Surgery at University Hospitals and the Jack & Mary Herrick Distinguished Chair, Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

“Comfort and fit are critical. By investing in elite, technical medical apparel, we are honoring the hard work of our medical team. Kyur’s healthcare line provides comfortable, fashionable clothing that makes them feel good and look good while performing their best at work."

Working directly with Dr. Voos, the design team at Kyūr developed five unique kits with tops, bottoms and base layers for the staff, including garments for physicians, non-surgical physicians, event medicine, physical therapist and trainers, and office and leadership staff.

“Kyūr exists to provide the world’s best healthcare professionals with scrubs that work as hard as they do,” said Nick Cienski, founder of Kyūr. “Our collaboration with Dr. Voos and the UH team has been remarkable. Every individual walking through their doors is a dedicated professional who consistently delivers exceptional care. It has been a privilege to bring our team’s design expertise and innovation to create a custom solution for these remarkable men and women.”

Kyūr, which was founded by former Under Armour Designer, Nick Cienski, takes technology, design strategies and materials most often seen in apparel for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts—who depend on their clothes to excel in extreme environments—and applies it to traditional medical scrubs.

“Everything we do is about making people more comfortable. The men and women who work at the UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute have some of the toughest jobs in the world—what they’re wearing should never cross their mind while they’re on the job,” said Cienski.

The garments provided to Drusinsky staff members are made from highly-technical, performance fabrics that don’t sacrifice protection required for a medical setting. For example, the fabric used in Kyūr scrub tops offers the same level of liquid barrier protection typically found in Level 2 surgical gowns.

“As a physical therapist it is very important that our clothing allows us to be comfortable and mobile,” said Brent Pekarski, PT, Physical Therapy Supervisor for University Hospitals. “Our job often involves demonstrating exercises and performing manual therapy with our patients. The KYUR scrubs meet all our needs with performance, comfort, and they look great!”
