The Medicus Scrub Cap Savings Calculator
The Medicus Scrub Cap Savings Calculator helps hospitals and trusts across the UK save money and reduce their carbon footprint. By switching to reusable scrub caps, hospitals can adopt a sustainable alternative to disposable options. Learn more about the benefits of reusable products for the environment.
Using data from the NHS, NHS Digital, and the British Medical Journal, we developed this tool. It estimates your hospital’s carbon emissions and the cost of disposable caps. The calculator takes into account important factors such as staff numbers, cap change frequency, and laundering costs. You can also check NHS resources on environmental sustainability.
As a result, hospitals can save up to £10,000 per year by switching to reusable caps. Moreover, this transition can reduce carbon emissions by up to 99%, compared to using 8 disposable scrub caps per surgery.
