In relation to my work, selling surgical equipments, I often accompany surgeons during surgery, and I'm very curious why their uniform in O.R. is in green color, in every hospital.

They are usually green or blue, because when they are stained with blood, blood appear as a black or dark mark, not a flashing red. It's usually more relaxing.

The scrubs at the instant are not constantly green. There are a value of different colorations worn by skill of surgeons, nurses, surgical techs, scholars, medical doctors, etc. The scrubs are presented by skill of the particular well being facility or provider. The scrubs are wiped sparkling and saved "sterile" to help avert the unfold of an infection together as a affected person is being operated on.

Many uniforms, such as nurses, surgeons and others, use the green color because it mutes the blood stains. This is particularly the case in the OR.

The convention of scrubs is not the same in every hospital. They are mostly blue at our hospital. I've really only seen shades of blue or green in mass-produced scrubs. I don't know of any historical basis for "surgery = green".

It lessens the retinal fatigue of looking into red (blood) while operating. It's the opposite color of red.
