Scrubs & Apparel
What do you sell?
Bobcat Medical is a full medical-apparel store: scrub sets, scrub tops, scrub pants and skirts, scrub jackets, lab coats, gowns, scrub caps, and kids scrubs — plus our own accessories like stethoscope holders and nurse waist packs. Browse everything by category on the Shop page.
What fabrics and styles do you carry?
We stock poplin, microfiber, stretch, and twill fabrics across a wide range of colors — in women’s and unisex/men’s cuts, plus kids sizes. Styles include classic sets, jogger sets, mock-wrap and V-neck tops, cargo and skirt bottoms, and more.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizing varies by fabric and style, so a “Large” in one line can differ from another. Every scrub product page has the maker’s exact measurement chart — check it against your measurements rather than assuming your usual size. Some sizes are made to order.
Can I try things on before ordering?
Yes, if we’re running a sizing event at your school. We bring a full fit kit and you try garments on before you order. Ask your program director whether an event is scheduled.
How long do scrubs take to ship?
Accessories (holders, waist packs) ship in about 3–5 business days. Scrubs and apparel are fulfilled through our production partner, and because many styles are made to order they typically take a bit longer. You’ll receive tracking as soon as your order ships.
Can I return or exchange scrubs?
Yes, within our 21-day return window (unworn, with tags). We don’t do direct size/color exchanges — if the fit isn’t right, return the item and place a new order for the size or color you need. Checking the size chart before ordering saves the hassle.
Do you offer bulk pricing for teams or schools?
Yes. Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout (5% at $300+, 10% at $750+, 15% at $1,500+), and hospitals, clinics, and schools can apply for a wholesale account for deeper advance-order pricing. See our Bulk & Wholesale page.
Stethoscope Holders & Accessories
What makes your stethoscope holder different?
It keeps the stethoscope off your neck for a full 12-hour shift and stays put through codes and rapid responses. It was designed by a bedside nurse who was tired of neck pain.
Is the nurse waist pack big enough for a full shift?
Yes. Multiple compartments for pens, shears, alcohol swabs, and tape. It wears at the waist or over the shoulder — two straps and an extender are included.
What is the difference between the magnetic and velcro stethoscope holders?
The magnetic holder uses a magnetic closure; the velcro holder uses a Velcro loop closure. Both are strong and reliable. The choice comes down to personal preference, not performance.
What colors are available?
Magnetic holder: Black, Navy Blue, Maroon, and Gray. Velcro holder: Black, Navy Blue, and Pink.
Will the magnetic holder damage my phone or credit cards?
We have had no known issues. The holder is not placed near phones or wallets during normal use. If you have concerns, keep cards and devices in a separate pocket.
What stethoscopes are compatible with your holders?
Our holders work with all major brands. Eko stethoscopes are not recommended—the Eko head shape and weight make it a poor fit. For other brands including Littmann, ADC, MDF, and similar, compatibility is excellent.
How do I clean my stethoscope holder?
Any standard antibacterial wipe is sufficient. For deeper cleaning, the magnetic holder components can be separated and wiped; the velcro holder can be hand washed with mild soap and air dried.
Shipping & Delivery
How long does shipping take?
Ground shipping within the continental US typically takes 3–5 business days. You will receive tracking once your order ships.
Do you ship internationally?
This website currently does not offer international shipping. For international orders, Amazon handles fulfillment—check our products on Amazon for delivery to your country.
Can I ship to my hospital instead of my home?
Yes. Just use your unit’s shipping address and include your name and department so it reaches you — large facilities route mail by department, not by person.
How can I track my order?
Tracking numbers are provided automatically via USPS or UPS. You'll receive an email with the tracking link once your order ships.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. We offer free regular shipping on orders over $50 within the continental United States. Orders under $50 have a $5.99 regular shipping fee. Rush and Super Rush shipping are available at checkout, and VIP members ship free on every order.
Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
We offer a 21-day return window with receipt. Refunds are processed automatically when the return is received within that window. To start a return, contact us through the Contact page.
How do I initiate a return?
Visit our Contact page and send us your order number and reason for return. We'll provide instructions and process your refund once we receive the item.
Can I exchange for a different color or size?
We do not offer exchanges for color or size. All sales are final except for returns within the 21-day window. If you need a different option, you can return the item and place a new order.
What if my item arrives damaged or wrong?
Contact us within 14 days of delivery with a photo of the item — and a photo of the packaging if it was damaged in transit. We cover return shipping and either replace it at no charge or refund you in full — your choice.
Can I return embroidered or personalized items?
No. Custom and embroidered goods can’t be returned or exchanged once production begins, because they can’t be resold. Check your spelling carefully before you approve the order.
Do I need a return authorization?
Yes. Email us first and we’ll issue a return authorization (RA) number, usually within 1–2 business days. Returns sent without one may be refused.
Orders & Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards and PayPal. All transactions are processed securely.
Can I modify or cancel my order?
Changes are allowed within 2 hours of placing your order. After that, orders process quickly for shipping and cannot be modified. Contact us right away if you need to make changes.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. Your payment information is secure. We use industry-standard encryption and PCI-compliant processing; we do not store your full card details on our servers.
Do you offer bulk or wholesale pricing?
Yes. Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout — 5% on orders $300+, 10% on $750+, and 15% on $1,500+. Institutions that can plan ahead (hospitals, clinics, schools) can apply for a wholesale account for deeper 60–90 day advance-order pricing on our Bulk & Wholesale page.
Discounts
Do you offer a student discount?
Yes. Details and verification are on our Student Discount page.
Do you offer a discount for working healthcare staff?
Yes. See our Healthcare Staff Discount page.
Bulk & Wholesale Orders
I need to order for my whole unit or class — is there a discount?
Yes, and you don’t have to apply for it. Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout: 5% at $300, 10% at $750, and 15% at $1,500.
What if we order more than that?
Larger recurring buyers can apply for a Wholesale Account with deeper pricing — 15% at $2,500, 20% at $5,000, and 25% at $10,000. Apply on our Bulk & Wholesale page.
How long does a bulk order take?
Accessories in stock ship in 2–3 business days. Apparel orders add about three business days on our side to place with our supplier, plus their production and transit. Embroidered orders run 3–4 weeks from written art approval.
Can you invoice our facility instead of taking a card?
Yes, on approved credit. First orders ship prepaid; net terms begin with your second order. Apply through the Bulk & Wholesale page.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes, for institutional buyers with an approved account.
We’re tax-exempt — how do we avoid being charged sales tax?
Send your resale or exemption certificate before your first order. California accounts should send form CDTFA-230. Without it on file, tax is charged on every invoice.
For Nursing Programs
Do you work with nursing schools?
Yes. We run on-campus uniform sizing events at no cost to the program. We bring a full fit kit, staff the table, and ship the cohort’s order as one batch.
What does a sizing event cost our program?
Nothing. Students purchase individually. Programs that prefer to purchase centrally can be billed directly — just ask.
How far in advance do we need to schedule?
Two to three weeks. Total time from event to delivery is about four to five weeks, longer if you want embroidery.
Can you put our program’s logo on the scrubs?
Yes. Embroidery requires written art approval and adds turnaround time. Embroidered garments can’t be returned, so approvals matter.
Can you match our required scrub color?
Usually. Send us your dress code requirement in writing before the event so we bring the right fit kit.
What do you need from us?
A table and floor space for about two hours, one email to the cohort with the date, and your required scrub color in writing.
