Are scrub caps worth it?

For most people who wear one every shift, yes. A reusable cap is comfortable over a long shift, can carry your name and role so your team knows who you are, and is made to be washed and worn for years rather than binned after a shift. Our cotton caps are machine washable at 60°C in line with NHS uniform guidance.

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 to 2XL, fitting heads from under 51cm to over 65cm depending on style. 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) is any head covering worn in the operating theatre to keep hair contained. Scrub cap is the everyday term used across healthcare settings. Whichever you call it, follow your employer's uniform policy on washing; our caps are made to be washed at 60°C in line with NHS uniform guidance.

What is the difference between Euro and regular scrub caps?

A Euro-style scrub cap sits closer to the head with a shorter back, while a bouffant-style cap has more room to tuck in longer hair. At Medicus, the closest style to a Euro cap is the Duchess (Elastic Backed), a no-tie fitted cap, with the Crown if you want a little more room. The Bandana is a classic tie-back with full coverage.

Are scrub caps mandatory in UK hospitals?

Head coverings are expected in operating theatres, but the exact rules are set by each NHS trust's uniform and infection prevention policies. Most require theatre staff to wear a cap that fully contains the hair. Check your own trust's policy on whether reusable caps are allowed and how they should be washed.

What are the best scrub caps for long hair?

For long or thick hair, buns and updos, a Bouffant gives the most room, and the Braid Pouch is made for braids. You can add a satin lining to any cap: satin's weave is smoother than plain cotton, so it causes less friction on hair (the method is explained at medicuscaps.com/pages/satin-lined-scrub-caps#why-satin). Sizes run XS to 2XL, fitting heads from under 51cm to over 65cm depending on style.

You already know the feeling. That smooth, cool satin lining inside your Medicus scrub cap — the one that keeps your hair protected through every shift. Now you can take that same feeling home.

Our satin pillowcase is made from the exact same premium polyester satin we use to line our luxury scrub caps. It's the fabric healthcare professionals have trusted against their hair and skin for thousands of shifts, and it works just as hard while you sleep.

Satin's ultra-smooth surface creates less friction than cotton, meaning less frizz, fewer sleep creases, and hair that stays exactly where you left it — whether you're catching eight hours or grabbing a quick rest between nights. The breathable fabric stays cool to the touch, helping you drift off faster and sleep more comfortably.

Machine washable, hypoallergenic, and built to last wash after wash — just like the scrub caps it comes from.

Available in Silver Satin and Black Satin. Fits any standard bed pillow.

Why satin? Cotton pillowcases grip and pull at your hair and skin all night long. Satin lets you glide, reducing breakage, keeping moisture in your hair instead of absorbing it into the fabric, and leaving your skin without those stubborn crease marks come morning. How the weave works.
