Men's Scrub Caps – Styles, Fit & Customisation Guide
Men's scrub caps are essential for hygiene and professionalism in medical settings, keeping hair secure during procedures. A great scrub cap not only contains hair neatly but also adds a touch of personal style.
Our collection of Men's Scrub Caps (all styles are unisex) offers a range of designs to suit different hair types and preferences – from classic tie-backs to full-coverage hoods.
Each cap is fully customisable with your choice of print, style, and size, ensuring you have the best scrub cap for men that meets your needs.
Bandana Style Scrub Cap (Classic Tie-Back)
The Bandana Style scrub cap is the classic “OR tie-back” design. It covers the entire head and ties at the back, with fabric extending over the ears for complete coverage. This cap is ideal for men with short to medium-length hair, offering a secure, adjustable fit.
Customise your Bandana scrub cap by choosing from dozens of solid colours or hundreds of prints, and even add embroidery for a personal touch.
Captain Style Scrub Cap (Skull Cap Design)
The Captain Style scrub cap is a fitted tie-back cap that sits above the ears, leaving them exposed – perfect if you need unobstructed access for eyeglasses or stethoscopes.
This streamlined cap is great for men with short hair or a shaved look. Its sleek design and adjustable tie-back make it a top choice when you’re looking for a lightweight yet secure cap.
Elastic Backed Scrub Cap (Slip-On Comfort)
This style features a built-in elastic at the back, eliminating the need for ties. It’s a slip-on design that covers the entire head, including the ears, and offers a secure, adjustable fit available in sizes from XS to 2XL.
Ideal for medium to long hair that you can easily tuck into a bun, the elastic-backed cap delivers convenience without compromising on coverage.
Ponytail Scrub Cap (Pony Style)
Designed with an extended back, the Ponytail Scrub Cap accommodates long hair worn in a ponytail. This cap provides extra space for your ponytail without requiring you to twist your hair into a bun.
It offers the same secure, adjustable fit as our other styles, making it perfect for men who want to keep their long hair or braid contained comfortably.
Bouffant Style Scrub Cap (Extra Roomy)
The Bouffant Style scrub cap provides a roomier, puffed fit ideal for very long or voluminous hair. It covers the head and ears completely and is perfect for men with large, thick hairstyles or for anyone who prefers a looser, breathable cap.
Available in various sizes, this style ensures you never have to compromise on comfort or coverage.
Hijab Style Scrub Cap (Full Coverage Headscarf)
This unique design offers full head and neck coverage in a wrap-style similar to a hijab. It’s perfect for healthcare professionals who require maximal coverage or simply prefer the look of a full-coverage cap.
Although inspired by the hijab, this style is unisex and can be customised for anyone seeking comprehensive protection.
Orthopaedic Surgical Hood (Precision Coverage)
The Orthopaedic Surgical Hood is a premium, hooded design offering full head and neck coverage. This style is ideal for surgeons and medical professionals who need extra protection in high-sterility environments.
With an open face and secure ties or elastic around the neck, it ensures you have maximum coverage without compromising on mobility or comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Men's Scrub Caps
Are these scrub cap styles only for men, or are they unisex?
All our scrub cap styles are unisex. While this page highlights features often sought by men, each design offers an adjustable fit that works for any gender. Whether you choose a Bandana, Captain, or any other style, you can expect a comfortable, secure fit tailored to your needs.
What is the best scrub cap style for a man with long hair?
For long hair, consider the Ponytail or Bouffant styles – they offer extra room to accommodate long locks comfortably. If you have a beard and need additional coverage, the Orthopaedic Surgical Hood provides comprehensive coverage; however, you might also use a separate beard cover for full protection.
How do I choose the right size for my scrub cap?
Medicus Caps offers sizes from XS up to 2XL. Measure your head circumference at the point where the cap will sit (just above the ears and around the forehead) and refer to our size chart. For a more comfortable fit, especially if you have thicker hair, sizing up is recommended. Many of our styles include adjustable ties or elastic components to help you achieve a personalised, secure fit.
Can I get these scrub caps in different colours or with custom prints?
Absolutely! Customisation is at the heart of Medicus Caps. All our scrub cap styles can be made in a wide range of colours and prints – choose from hundreds of ready-to-go options or request a custom design. You can even add embroidery for your name, logo, or department details, ensuring your scrub cap is as unique as you are.
What material are these caps made from and how should I care for them?
Our scrub caps are made from high-quality, breathable fabrics such as 100% cotton or a cotton-rich blend. They are designed to withstand frequent washing. We recommend machine washing in warm or cool water with like colours and tumble drying on medium. Proper care will keep your cap looking vibrant and comfortable for many shifts.
