Can Nurses Wear Scrub Caps?

Scrub caps are designed to protect the wearer from contamination. They prevent the hair, skin, and scalp from coming in contact with potentially contaminated surfaces.

The scrub cap is a garment worn by any medical personnel for protection during surgery or other medical procedures.

Medicus scrub caps are made of a washable material, 100% cotton. They are worn by surgeons, nurses, dentists, veterinarians and other medical staff to prevent hair from contaminating a sterile field.

A nurse can wear a scrub cap as long as they are wearing it on top of their head and not over their face. Sometimes as part of a uniform nurses wear scrub caps to a more professional look.
