Essential for Medical Staff | Disposable Medical Caps: Comfortable & Breathable, Solving Hat-Related Oiliness and Hair Loss
Medical staff usually need to wear caps
during daily work. The most common ones are swallow-tailed caps and cotton caps
worn by nurses, which are used to cover hair and prevent contamination.
However, in actual clinical use, nurse caps do not bring more convenience to
nursing work; instead, they have many problems.
Swallow-tailed caps are difficult to clean
and easy to breed bacteria. The most annoying issue is that when medical staff
get off work, their hair becomes extremely oily due to being trapped under the
cap—this oiliness is really unbearable. Their hair also gets flattened, which
medical staff jokingly call "hair-steaming caps". Some even suffer
from occupational hair loss due to long-term cap-wearing that blocks air
circulation around the head!
How to solve issues like oiliness and hair loss caused by hat-wearing?
Therefore, in recent years, many hospitals have implemented a "cap-free policy" for nursing staff, no longer requiring them to wear swallow-tailed caps or cotton caps. In environments requiring special operations or sterile procedures—such as operating rooms, ICUs, and catheterization labs—disposable medical caps can be worn. These caps are comfortable and breathable, and also prevent cross-infection between doctors and patients.
Previously, during the COVID-19 pandemic,
the first step for nucleic acid testers to take personal protection was to put
on a disposable medical cap first, with their hair fully
covered after being neatly arranged.
Disposable medical caps are made of high-quality SPP non-woven fabric, which is
comfortable, breathable, eco-friendly, and odorless. They feature a reasonable
and innovative design: the elastic band at the cap opening ensures a fit for
people with different head shapes and prevents the cap from falling off.
Disposable medical caps adopt ultrasonic heat-sealing technology for one-piece
molding. They remain breathable and non-stuffy even when worn for a long time.
Additionally, the back of the cap has an enlarged elastic brim, which provides
good coverage for long hair. The cap is slightly fluffy without tightness, so
it does not feel constricting on the head even after prolonged wear.
How to Wear Disposable Medical Caps
Correctly
- Choose a cap of the right size to completely cover the head and
hair along the hairline.
- If you have long hair, tie it up first before putting on the
cap, and tuck all hair into the cap.
- The two ends of the cap's closure must be placed over the ears,
not on the forehead or other parts of the head.
