Most reputable and well stocked medical supply companies are going to be able to offer medical use bouffant caps in 19, 21, and 24 inch sizes. These caps are also available in 28 inch sizes.

The reason for the massive difference in variety of sizes in bouffant caps is to ensure that no matter how large or small a doctor or nurse is he or she is still going to be able to use a properly fitting cap. The puffy appearance of the bouffant cap is perfect for providing enough space for not only the head, but also the hair of the medical professional. The patient doesn’t need to be concerned with contamination from hair and the medical professional needs to know that their hair is out of the way and safe from possible biohazards.

Tell me something about the material used to make disposable bouffant caps for doctors and nurses?

Most bouffant caps you are going to find in the medical office or surgical room are made from polypropylene. This material is perfect for use in the operating room because is produces very little lint and is incredibly light weight, adding to the comfort of the doctor and nurses. The bouffant caps can be found in both white and blue color varieties as well as the different sizes. For the medical professionals who are allergic to latex, it is also possible to order these caps latex free.

The main purpose in wearing a scrub hat for medical professionals is to make them miserable. No, in all seriousness, scrub hats are intended to keep doctors and nurses comfortable while in the operating room by keeping their hair out of the way of biohazards and their vision. Scrub hats are also used to make sure the patient is protected from any potential contaminants in the medical professional’s hair and the hair itself. Non conformity with this regulation can result in all kinds of problems with malpractice charges and possibly even loss of a professional’s medical license.

What style of scrub hat works best for women in the medical field?

Of course, every professional is going to be different, but many women working in the medical surgical field like the bonnet style of scrub hat. They are designed to be comfortable and light weight, usually made from cotton fabric. Women can also expect to find adjustable cords in the hats for making sure their scrub hats fit properly and won’t slide or fall off in the middle of a procedure. The wide front bands on this type of scrub hat is vital for eliminating the discomfort and less than attractive look of lines on the forehead left by harsh elastic bands. Leaving the elastic for the back section of the scrub hat seems to work better. As noted though, every female medical professional is different and no doubt has her own idea of the perfect scrub hat.
