The role of an EMT professional has changed over recent years. EMT uniforms have changed to fit these new roles. EMT uniforms and more specifically EMT pants have improved to accommodate the new role of the EMT. EMT pants have very specific features that are a necessity to the average EMT/EMS professional.
EMS pants must accommodate the many tools used in this important line of work. The EMT trousers must have at least 2 large cargo pockets which can be separated and subdivided or they have additional pockets for all kinds of devices (flashlights, medical tools, etc). These are not only handy additions to the uniform pant but a necessity. There are also, in the best quality pant, adjustable scissor straps and glove pockets on EMT uniform pants. Other features of EMT uniforms include some sort of spill / stain resistant technology and sometimes wrinkle resistance so that the EMT always looks professional.
