Details
- Style: choose from 8 fits at checkout – Bandana, Captain, Duchess and Crown, or the specialised Bouffant, Pony, Turban and Surgical Hood (not sure? find your style). The Hijab and Braid Pouch are available as their own caps, and Tie Back and Pouch fits on bulk orders
- Material: 100% cotton, naturally hypoallergenic
- Sizes: XS-2XL fits heads from under 51cm to over 65cm, depending on style (view sizing guide)
- Care: Wash at 60°C where NHS workwear policy applies. In non-surgical settings like vet and dental practices, a normal wash is fine. Some customers put plain caps through autoclaves, though it shortens their life
- Production: Made to order in Sheffield, UK. Most orders dispatch the same or next working day, and more customisation takes longer
- Colours: 30+ professional shades available on hand and 90+ for bulk orders
- Full coverage design: Secures all hair types while maintaining breathability during long procedures
- Adjustable tie system: Accommodates different head sizes and preferences for optimal comfort
- Team identification: Add custom embroidery with name and role
- Reusable: made to be washed and worn for years rather than binned after a shift. One full-time wearer on two sessions a day would otherwise get through around 464 disposable caps a year
- Digital passport: every cap carries a sewn-in QR code linking to its own Medicus cap passport
- Delivery: UK Royal Mail Tracked 48 from £3.99, faster options at checkout, worldwide shipping available
