October 30, 2009 (FPRC) -- Medelita®, maker of breakthrough medical apparel, today introduced the new Elizabeth B. lab coat to its collection of high performance women's lab coats. Shorter than traditional coats, the Elizabeth B. is 28 inches in length and falls just below the hip on a woman of average height. The new, shorter-length lab coat is available for pre-order and will be available to purchase online November 6, 2009.

"The introduction of the Elizabeth B. lab coat is a significant milestone for us in that it answers countless customer requests, expressing the need for a lab coat with modern styling, sensible performance fabric features and long-lasting durability," said Lara Manchik, founder, Medelita. "We chose to name the coat in honor of Elizabeth Blackwell, the very first female medical school graduate who paved the way for women in field of medicine. This appellation also honors customers of Medelita who continue to make significant contributions in their respective medical professions."

At the turn of the 19th century, female doctors did not exist. But Elizabeth Blackwell changed that with her inspiring life's work. Education played an important role for Blackwell, whose father moved the family from England to the U.S. Motivated by the desire to fill the unmet needs of women who preferred to consult with a female physician, Blackwell eventually sought a formal education during a time when medical schools simply did not allow women. Her application to the Geneva Medical College in New York was inadvertently accepted because students and the administration thought it was a practical joke.

Eventually, Blackwell's persistence won her respect, admiration and the first U.S. medical degree awarded to a woman in 1849; however, she was barred from practicing in hospitals and set up a practice out of her own home. Among Blackwell's many achievements was the establishment of women's medical schools in the U.S. and in England. The educational institutions were the culmination of plans co-developed with Florence Nightengale, whom she met during the Civil War. Well into her later years, Blackwell continued to inspire and encourage women to study medicine. Today, women represent more than half of the students pursuing some form of medical education.

The Medelita Elizabeth B. lab coat is designed for those medical professionals who prefer technical advancements - not only in their clothing but also in their lifestyle. The fluid resistant lab coat is treated with Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, which allows the fabric to repel and release stains, including blood, while maintaining a clean and crisp, polished appearance. Tailored for a feminine yet professional shape, the coats are sewn in the U.S. and feature the highest quality workmanship available in a medical uniform. Modern styling includes rounded lapels with complimentary pocket detailing, clean finishing of all seams, and a hidden inside pocket for transporting handheld devices and other useful medical tools.

Also called a consultation lab coat, the 28 inch lab coat is worn by students across numerous medical professions - medical school, dental school, physician assistant school - as well as by those medical professionals who simply prefer a hip length lab coat. Although the length is often a designation of a student, in some settings, the shorter coat is preferred or even required.

The new lab coat joins the Medelita collection of women's lab coats, which range from the original, full-length Callia lab coat (38 in.), the Ellody (34 in.), to the Estie (38 in.) and Sophia (34 in.), all of which can be custom embroidered with name, title, and profession as preferred.

It was at her father's side that Margaret learned how compassionate care can make a tremendous difference in the lives of people who need it most. Along with her father's compassion and sense of humor, Margaret inherited a healthy dose of bravery from her mother, who served as a nurse in a London hospital during the Blitz of WWII.

It was the inspiration she found at home that lead her to helping people in need around the world - from Chiapas, Mexico to East Palo Alto, CA, where she currently treats underserved and homeless patients.

With a touch of humor, she recalls the life-changing moment she recognized her calling to become a Physician Assistant. "I turned 40, digging in a bed of collard greens in Chiapas, and realized that I needed more qualifications if I was going to help people in need," Margaret says. "Becoming a PA was the natural route."

Twenty years later, and Margaret certainly has the qualifications to care for the health of people who have fallen through the cracks. She earned her PA certification from the Stanford University Medical Center Primary Care Associate Program, where she had the unique privilege of meeting Dr. Patch Adams. "His integrity, humor, and take-no-prisoners attitude to the hobbling time constraints placed on medical practitioners was quite inspirational," Margaret recalls of the encounter.

She's certainly carried those lessons into her work as a PA and leader in her profession. For the past 17 years, she has been treating the homeless and poverty-stricken with equal parts respect, dignity, and compassion. As the lead clinician at Ravenswood Belle Haven Clinic in East Palo Alto, she has become the only source of regular medical care for people whose lives are in constant flux.
What has been the greatest reward for your work?

"Like so many other health care providers, I sometimes work long hours trying to get services to patients. But in the end, it's a good feeling to go home at the end of a long day knowing that someone feels better, even happier, as a result of what you have done."

- Margaret Allen, PA-C

"We all know that good food, sleep and exercise are the mainstays of good health," she explains. "These basics are almost impossible for poor people to obtain."

While confronting the challenges of helping her patients stay healthy, Margaret is more likely to cite the rewards. "The smiles and hugs from people who think you have helped them is very gratifying. I haven't regretted a single day (well, maybe one or two) in the last 20 years."

Quick to credit the sources of inspiration in her own life, Margaret has inspired a new generation of PAs to follow in her footsteps. In between her clinical duties and patients, she's managed to find time to volunteer as a teacher at the Stanford Primary Care Associate Program, where she was twice recognized as "Teacher of the Year."

Always modest, Margaret says of this recognition, "I was surprised to find out that I am reasonably good at teaching. I never would have predicted that. It's very gratifying to see the 'aha' look when something that has been confusing suddenly becomes clear."

One thing is certainly clear to us: this AAPA 2009 award-winner for Service to the Underserved deserves our thanks. Which is why we were thrilled to send Margaret a personalized set of Medelita scrubs, which have made quite an impression in her clinic.

"When working with the underserved, I need to be respectful and unassuming," Margaret says of her Medelita scrub set. "They're perfect for my work as they feel great, wear well, fit nicely, and effortlessly make it look like I have made an effort!"

Medelita- Medical Apparel is Designed to Better Complement Female Form

Medelita has introduced medical apparel for female clinicians that is designed to better fit and flatter the female form.

"Clinician scrubs and lab coats have not changed since the 1970s," explains physician assistant Lara Manchik, who developed the Medelita line. "Medelita originated out of a very real and urgent need among female clinicians, myself included, who were frustrated with the shapeless, unisex-style scrubs made from uncomfortable fabrics. Female clinicians are consummate professionals who deserve a uniform that reflects their confidence and poise. Until Medelita, we simply had no other choice. Now, finally, we do."

The Medelita line of clinician scrubs and lab coats maintains many traditional scrub features while providing a professional, fitted silhouette. Clinician scrubs tops feature darting at the bust, tapering at the waist and hips, and tailoring at the sleeves, while clinician pants include a subtle, slimming bootleg, contoured rise from front to back, and flattering seam placement, the company says. Other features include side panel pockets and a hidden money pocket.

Featuring a rounded feminine color, tailored shaping, finished inside seams and a back waist belt, Medelita lab coats are designed to look modern while remaining functional.

Medelita clinician scrubs and lab coats maintain softness and durability thanks to moisture-transferring Dri-release® technology and bacteriostat FreshGuard® microblend technology by Optimer, which help keep the fabric fresh and odor-free, the company says.

Made from 100% brushed cotton that resists wrinkling, Medelita lab coats use Advanced Dual Action Teflon® by DuPont® to repel liquid spills, as well as High IQ® Easycare Plus by Huntsman to maintain a crisp, professional appearance.

The Shorter Lab Coat is a 34" version of our original Callia lab coat style, our 100% cotton Ellody lab coat is designed specifically for women who prefer a shorter length lab coat. Falling 2-3" below finger tip, this tailored, fluid resistant lab coat has feminine shaping, rounded lapels, a hidden inside pocket, traditional side slits, and French finish inside seams. Performance fabric features include High IQ® Easycare Plus to resist wrinkling and ensure a soft, smooth appearance of the lab coat. And the Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector helps to repel and release stains. This high quality, technically innovative women's lab coat exudes professionalism balanced with durability and fashion. You deserve it.
