The Science Behind Reusable Scrub Caps
Comprehensive research evidence on infection control, environmental impact, patient safety, and cost savings from NHS trusts and academic institutions worldwide.
Environmental Impact
The NHS uses approximately 2.4 million single-use caps in Scotland alone annually. Each takes up to 300 years to decompose.
79% lower carbon footprint over lifecycle
Single operations generate 150-170 kg CO₂e (equivalent to driving 720 km)
Dal Mas et al. 2024Each reusable cap replaces 200-250 disposables annually, preventing 2.5kg plastic waste per staff member
Dal Mas et al. 2024NHS sustainability context
- Operating theatres account for 4-5% of total healthcare carbon emissions
- Single-use items contribute 68% of surgical carbon emissions
- NHS Net Zero target: 2040 for direct emissions
- Switching to reusables could achieve 32% carbon reduction
Patient Safety & Team Communication
Communication failures occur in 30% of operating theatre exchanges. 90% of these failures negatively impact the case.
The hidden risk of anonymity in theatre
The solution: Named caps
Name recall after implementing labeled caps
