Are scrub caps worth it?

Yes. Reusable scrub caps are a worthwhile investment for healthcare professionals. They are more comfortable than disposables for long shifts, allow personalisation with your name and role for team identification, and are better for the environment — each reusable cap replaces over 100 disposable alternatives per year. Our 100% cotton caps can be machine washed at 60°C, meeting NHS infection control standards.

How do I choose the right size scrub cap?

Measure around the widest part of your head, above your ears and eyebrows, using a soft tape measure. Our scrub caps come in sizes XS (52cm) to 2XL (69cm). If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. Visit our sizing guide at medicuscaps.com/pages/scrub-caps-sizing-guide for detailed instructions and a size chart for each style.

What is the difference between a surgical cap and a scrub cap?

The terms are used interchangeably. A surgical cap (or theatre cap) refers to any head covering worn in the operating theatre to contain hair and reduce contamination. Scrub cap is the informal term used across healthcare settings. Both meet the same infection control standards when made from appropriate materials and washed at 60°C.

What is the difference between Euro and regular scrub caps?

A Euro-style scrub cap (also called a pixie or fitted cap) sits closer to the head with a shorter back, while a regular bouffant-style cap has more room to tuck in longer hair. At Medicus, our Bandana style is a classic tie-back with full coverage, our Captain is a fitted tie-back with structured front similar to a Euro style, and our Elastic Backed is a no-tie slip-on.

Are scrub caps mandatory in UK hospitals?

Head coverings are required in operating theatres across UK hospitals to maintain sterile conditions. While specific policies vary by NHS trust, most require theatre staff to wear caps that fully contain hair. Many trusts now actively encourage reusable cotton scrub caps as a sustainable alternative to disposable options, provided they are washed at 60°C between uses.

What are the best scrub caps for long hair?

For long hair, we recommend our Bandana (tie-back) style which offers the most room to tuck hair in comfortably. The generous cut accommodates ponytails, buns, braids, and locs. For extra hair protection, add a satin lining which prevents breakage, reduces frizz, and maintains protective hairstyles during long shifts. Available in sizes up to 2XL (69cm).
