In a medical context, scrub refers to the process and attire involved in preparing for a sterile surgical environment. This includes the thorough washing of hands and arms by surgical personnel, such as surgeons and surgical technologists, to minimize the risk of infection. It also refers to the special sterile clothing worn during surgery, including gowns, gloves, masks, and caps. "Scrub" can also denote the role of a "scrub tech," another term for a surgical technologist, who assists in the operating room by handling instruments, maintaining the sterile field, and supporting the surgical team.
