Questions about all medicus scrub caps

How do I know what size scrub cap to order?
Measure around your head where the cap will sit, typically just above your ears and across your forehead. Our size guide shows the measurements for each size, XS to 2XL, by style. If you're between sizes, size up, or order a Sample Box to try before committing, as people wear the same size differently.
What material are your scrub caps made from?
Our caps are made from 100% premium cotton (football-club caps are poly-cotton): breathable, comfortable during long shifts, and naturally absorbent, so there's no need for a separate sweatband. The fabric is tested for durability and comfort in clinical environments. We're also piloting hemp in some NHS trusts.
Are your scrub caps suitable for operating theatres?
Yes. Our caps are designed for 60°C washing in line with NHS uniform guidance, and are used across operating theatres, labs, kitchens and clinical environments. They're tested through industrial washing and daily clinical use, and some clinical clients also autoclave them.
Will my scrub cap survive NHS commercial washing?
Yes. Our 100% cotton caps are tested to withstand commercial laundering and drying, and some clinical clients also autoclave them. The fabric and embroidery hold their quality through hundreds of wash cycles.
How should I wash my scrub cap at home?
Follow your workplace washing policy. General guidance is machine wash at 40-60°C with similar colours. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Iron on medium heat if needed. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners which can affect the cotton's breathability. We have NHS Trusts washing at higher temperatures like 70C so depends on your use case and work policies.
How long will my scrub cap order take?
Every Medicus cap is made to order in our Sheffield workshop, and most orders are dispatched the same or next working day. More customisation takes a little longer, and custom printed fabric takes about a week. Need it sooner? Rush orders are available for a fee. Delivery time is added after dispatch, and your shipping options and estimate show at checkout. We'll email tracking when your order ships.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide from the UK to Japan, Africa, and everywhere in between. International orders may require courier or special delivery services depending on your location. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
Are your scrub caps sustainable?
Yes. Every Medicus cap is reusable, made to be washed and worn for years in place of single-use disposable caps. Each one carries a digital passport, and at the end of its life the cotton can be recycled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are scrub caps made from?

Medicus scrub caps are made from 100% cotton, breathable and light enough for long theatre shifts. The exceptions are our football club caps, made from poly-cotton club fabric, and our hemp caps. The cotton can be machine washed at 60°C to meet NHS infection control guidelines. Optional satin lining is available for hair protection.

How do I find the right size scrub cap?

Measure around the widest part of your head (above your ears and eyebrows) with a soft tape measure. Our scrub caps come in sizes XS to 2XL, fitting head circumferences from under 51cm to over 65cm. Visit our sizing guide for detailed instructions and size charts for each style.

What styles of scrub cap do you offer?

Every printed cap comes in 8 fits, chosen at checkout: Bandana, Captain, Duchess, Crown, Bouffant, Pony, Turban and Surgical Hood. The Bouffant and Pony leave room for thick or long hair. We also make hijab scrub caps for full head and neck coverage, and mullet scrub caps with a contrasting band. Our style finder helps you pick in about a minute.

Do you make hijab scrub caps?

Yes. Our hijab scrub caps are a reusable, full-coverage theatre hat designed for Muslim healthcare staff, covering the head and neck in one piece so nothing needs tucking mid-procedure. They come in the same 100% cotton as the rest of the range, wash at 60°C, and can be personalised with a name and role. There is more background in can I wear a scrub cap with a hijab.

Can I personalise my scrub cap with my name?

Yes. We offer personalised embroidery with your name, role, department, or logo in multiple fonts and thread colours. You can also add ID bands, ClearName heat transfers for hospital laundry systems, or satin lining for hair protection. All personalisation is done in-house in Sheffield.

Are reusable scrub caps allowed in NHS theatres?

That depends on your trust or practice uniform policy, so check locally. Our caps are made to be machine washed at 60°C, following NHS guidelines.

How long does delivery take?

Every cap is made to order, and most are dispatched the same or next working day. Personalised and embroidered caps can take a little longer, and custom printed fabric takes about a week. UK delivery options and prices are shown at checkout. International shipping is available to most countries with delivery in 5–14 working days.
