Key Features of Surgical Caps:
-
Lightweight: Surgical caps are comfortable to wear for extended periods due to their lightweight design.
-
Breathable: The material allows for air circulation, preventing moisture buildup and discomfort.
-
Waterproof: PP caps provide a barrier against fluids and contaminants, protecting the wearer's hair and face.
-
Disposable: Surgical caps are typically designed for single-use to maintain sterility.
Purpose of Surgical Caps:
-
Hair Containment: To prevent hair from falling onto the sterile field and contaminating surgical sites.
-
Fluid and Particle Barrier: To protect the wearer from exposure to blood, bodily fluids, and other airborne particles.
-
Infection Prevention: To minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by reducing the spread of pathogens.
Proper Use of Surgical Caps:

Cleanliness: Ensure the cap is clean and free from contaminants before use.
-
Secure Fit: Adjust the elastic bands to achieve a snug but comfortable fit.
