In 2007, performance fabrics were everywhere in sports apparel—but nowhere to be found in medical scrubs.
That was the year Bart Petrini, M.D., a former collegiate and professional athlete turned medical resident, had a realization that would change healthcare apparel forever.
"I was a 4th-year medical resident, frequently taking overnight call and living in my scrubs for 24 hours at a time. Comfort was lacking, to say the least. As a former athlete, I knew how important the right 'uniform' was to performance. Fit, feel, and function matter—and it all comes down to the right fabric."
— Bart Petrini, M.D., Titan Scrubs Founder
While the sports industry had embraced moisture-wicking, stretchable, high-performance fabrics, healthcare professionals were still stuck with stiff, outdated cotton scrubs that trapped heat, restricted movement, and wore out too quickly.
Dr. Petrini saw the gap—and decided to fill it himself.
The Moment That Sparked a Revolution
Like many doctors, Dr. Petrini wanted to be comfortable on long shifts. He found himself ditching traditional scrub tops in favor of high-performance workout shirts—the same ones he had relied on as an athlete.
The difference was night and day:
✔️ Better stretch for ease of movement
✔️ Superior breathability to keep cool under pressure
✔️ Moisture-wicking fabric that stayed dry during long hours
But then came the wake-up call.
"One day, I got a ‘curbside consult’ from a faculty physician: ‘Hey pal, this is a hospital, not a gym—you have to wear scrubs.’ Boom! The light went on! Why not make scrubs with performance fabrics? And why the heck hasn’t anyone thought of this before?"
That moment changed everything.
From an Idea to a Movement: How Titan Scrubs Was Born
Dr. Petrini didn’t just want to make better scrubs—he wanted to use the best performance fabrics on the planet.
So he went straight to the source: Optimer Brands, the pioneers of driRelease® technology, which powers the apparel worn by 100% of professional athletes in football, basketball, and soccer.
"I cold-called Optimer Brands. They had pioneered the fabrics used by all the major athletic apparel companies. I figured if anyone knew about performance fabrics, it was these guys."
The Optimer team loved the idea. They agreed to collaborate on the first-ever performance scrubs.
Dr. Petrini had a small batch manufactured, incorporating Optimer’s advanced fabric technology—and from the moment he put them on, he knew he had something special.
"Wow! I could feel the difference instantly. The comfort, the movement, the breathability—it was everything scrubs should have been all along."
The first batch was a hit among his friends and colleagues, and Dr. Petrini realized it was time to introduce the entire healthcare community to performance scrubs.
