A "medical cap," also known as a scrub cap or surgical cap, is a head covering worn by healthcare professionals to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination in medical environments. These caps contain hair to stop it from shedding into sterile areas, protecting both the patient and the healthcare worker. They also absorb sweat and provide a barrier against airborne microbes, playing a crucial role in preventing infection and ensuring safety in settings like operating rooms and intensive care units.

Key Purposes of Medical Caps

Hygiene and Infection Control:

Medical caps prevent hair and skin from shedding microbes into the sterile environment of an operating room or other high-risk areas. 

Patient Safety:

By containing potential contaminants, caps help keep surgical sites free from contamination and protect the patient's health. 

Worker Comfort and Safety:

Caps keep hair out of a healthcare worker's face, which can be a distraction during a procedure. They also absorb sweat, improving comfort during long shifts. 

Compliance:

Wearing medical caps is a standard practice to comply with health regulations and maintain a professional appearance and hygienic standards in healthcare settings.
