[Popular Science] Why do we wear clogs in the operating room?

① Comfort. Surgical operations vary in length, sometimes lasting dozens of hours, and doctors have to stand all the time. Compared with traditional hard-soled slippers, Crocs are soft, breathable, light and comfortable.

② Safety. The floor of the operating room is usually smooth and hard, with low friction. The soles of Crocs have crisscrossed grooves and good grip. The front end of the big toe shoe is thicker, which can fully protect the toes and avoid being hit and contaminated by accidentally dropped instruments, gauze or specimens.

③ Convenience. The lace-free design of Crocs allows surgeons to put them on directly in case of emergencies, which saves precious time for rescuing patients.
