Hospital Saving Calculator

How Much CO2e And Money Could You Be Saving?

Washing and Drying Impact

The total CO2e impact of washing and drying Medicus scrub caps is estimated at 3.3 kg CO2e per wash cycle. With an estimated 250 wash cycles per year, this results in an additional 825 kg CO2e per year.

Medicus Scrub Caps is the leading provider of reusable scrub caps to hospitals and trusts across the UK. We are committed to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, and we believe that our reusable scrub caps are the best way to achieve this.

Using data from the NHS, NHS Digital teams and the British medical journal, we have developed a calculator that helps hospitals and trusts to estimate their carbon emissions and spend on disposable caps. The calculator takes into account a number of factors, including the number of staff, the frequency of cap changes, and the cost of laundering.

The calculator shows that hospitals and trusts could save up to £10,000 per year by switching to reusable caps. In addition, the switch to reusable caps would reduce carbon emissions by up to 99% compared to average 8 scrub caps per surgery.

In addition to being more sustainable, reusable caps also offer a number of other benefits. They are more comfortable to wear, they last longer, and they can be personalized with names and roles. Medicus Scrub Caps offers a wide range of styles and sizes to suit all staff, including those who wear hijabs and turbans.

If you are interested in reducing your carbon footprint and improving communication in your hospital or trust, then we encourage you to use our hospital saving calculator. To find out more, please visit our website or contact us today.

FAQs

What Is A Scrub Cap?

A scrub cap is a lightweight, close-fitting head covering worn by medical professionals during surgeries and other medical procedures.

It's designed to keep hair completely contained and away from the sterile field, preventing contamination and maintaining hygiene standards in healthcare settings.

Can I add my name or logo to my scrub cap?

Yes! We offer full customization including embroidery with names, roles, logos, and medical specialty designs. You can also create completely custom fabric prints, add satin linings, or include smart features like RFID/NFC tags for staff identification. There's no minimum order requirement - we customize even single caps.

What styles of scrub caps do you offer?

We offer 7 main styles to suit different needs: Bandana (classic tie-back covering ears), Captain (above-ear tie-back), Elastic Backed (slip-on with full coverage), Bouffant (for voluminous hair), Ponytail (with extended back), Hijab/Turban (full head and neck coverage), and Orthopaedic Surgical Hood (maximum coverage for high-sterility environments).

How much do your scrub caps cost?

Our personalized scrub caps with custom embroidery start at £9.99. Pre-embroidered medical designs are £18.99, exclusive prints are £16.99, and all-over custom printed fabric caps are £36.75. Bulk orders of 10, 100, 250, 500+ caps receive wholesale discounts, and NHS Trusts and charities can receive VAT exemption for additional 16.6% savings.

What materials are your caps made from?

Our standard caps are made from 100% breathable cotton that's latex-free and hypoallergenic. We also offer the world's first hemp fabric scrub caps in partnership with NHS Kent + Medway, featuring natural antimicrobial properties and enhanced durability. All materials meet EN71 and Oeko-tex Standard 100 safety standards.

How long does delivery take?

As all caps are made-to-order in our UK facility, we process orders within 48 hours (Monday-Friday, 6am-3pm) with typical delivery within a week. UK shipping is free on orders over £35, or you can get unlimited shipping for 12 months for just £10. International shipping to EU, USA, and Canada is available with our £29.99/year unlimited shipping membership or starts at £9.99 for one off between 7-14 working days.

How do I know what size to order?

Measure your head circumference above your ears and eyebrows where the cap will sit. Consider your hair length and volume - longer or thicker hair may need sizing up or choosing styles like Bouffant or Ponytail. We offer refundable sample boxes so you can try different sizes and styles risk-free before ordering.

How do I wash my scrub cap?

For non clinical everyday wear then your usual laundry settings should be fine. Machine wash at 60°C minimum to eliminate 99.9% of microorganisms (NHS guidelines) and comply with NHS Workwear policy. Our caps are tested to withstand industrial washing up to 100°C and drying at 180°C. They're also autoclave-compatible for sterilization in labs for example.

What makes your caps different from disposables?

Each reusable cap replaces approximately 400 disposable caps annually per full-time staff member, with an average carbon footprint of just 337g CO2e (equivalent to only 9 days of disposables). They're more comfortable, allow for personalization, improve team identification, and studies show name recall increases from 42% to 85% with personalized caps.

Do you have designs for specific medical specialties?

Yes! We offer over 50 themed collections including cardiology, neurology, anaesthetics, pharmacy, and more. We have 700+ patterned prints ranging from medical organs to Disney characters, plus 30+ plain colors. You can also create completely custom designs specific to your department or specialty.

Are your caps suitable for people with long hair or religious head coverings?

Absolutely! We're the only company offering inclusive designs for all hair types and cultural needs. Our Ponytail style accommodates long hair, the Bouffant fits voluminous hair and dreadlocks, and we offer custom Hijab/Turban patterns for those requiring modest coverage.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship worldwide! as an added bonus EU, USA, and Canada customers can get our 12-month unlimited shipping membership for £29.99/year. International customers are responsible for any customs fees or import duties. EU customers benefit from zero import fees on small orders under 150 Euro.

What if I need help choosing the right style?

Our expert team provides free consultation to help you choose the perfect style and size. Consider the Captain style if you wear glasses or stethoscopes (sits above ears), Bandana for full coverage with tie-back adjustment, or Elastic Backed for quick slip-on convenience.
