Medical Cap
is a type of protective headwear designed to protect the user from contaminants. Medical caps are an essential protection for both the patient and the surgeon/nurse, as they protect the patient from any falling hair and contaminants in hair, and the surgeon/nurse from any hair-borne contaminants.
edical caps are available in three primary styles – Bouffant caps, Mob caps and Surgeon’s caps. The distinctive feature which differentiates these cap styles is their shape and structure.
Bouffant Caps are the most widely used medical caps, and can be distinguished by their puffy appearance. These medical caps are loose and so allow space for longer hair and/or hair that is tied up. These medical caps are used by both the medical professionals, as well as the patients. Such caps can also be found within the food industry and laboratory settings, and can also be used in factories, medical facilities, and clean rooms.
Mob Caps can be distinguished by their bonnet shape. These medical caps are a type of medical cap which is used in the medical profession to contain hair. Like the bouffant cap, they too allow space for longer hair. Like the bouffant cap, they too can be used by both the patient and the doctor/nurse. Similarly, the medical caps too can essentially be found in various places where sterile conditions are necessary.
Surgeon’s Caps are headwear used in surgery. A back tie medical cap has an easy tie that needs to be tied at the back of the head, whereas an elastic tie medical cap can simply be put on the head, much like a bouffant or mob cap.
Medical caps are composed of two main materials, polypropylene and spun lace. Polypropylene is the most prolific material, and the majority of caps are made from this material. The advantages of polypropylene are that it is useful in repelling water as well as being chemically resistant. It is also lightweight, comfortable and elastic, durable and has insulating properties. Spunlace is the material of choice for the XtraSafe Ultra Surgeon model, and offers the highest level of protection and breathability among all caps. It is also the most expensive.
All of StaySafe medical caps are 100% latex free, making them available for use by everyone regardless of any allergy to latex.
