Further Information:

For clinical staff, including surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, wearing braided hair in a surgical setting can present specific challenges.
Braided hair can be more difficult to fully cover and contain under traditional surgical caps, which may increase the risk of contamination in the sterile field.
Loose hairs from braids can fall into the surgical area, posing an infection risk and causing added concern for clinicians about contamination.
Additionally, generic disposable hats may rip or become too loose, compromising their effectiveness.
Maintaining a sterile environment in surgery is critical, which is why Eco Ninjas™ developed a reusable theatre hat designed to accommodate varying braid lengths and thicknesses.
Their braid–specific hat covering helps minimize the risk of introducing contaminants into the surgical field.
It also provides a more comfortable and secure fit, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on the surgical procedure without worrying about hair–related issues.

Professional Role Or Name And Role Badges

We can also offer made–to–order badges that can be customized with a professional role or a name and role. These badges are digitally printed onto a coated polyester substrate and laminated with a protective film. They have excellent resistance to industrial laundering with accreditation to ISO 11611 and have flame retardant properties.
Regarding the characters of names and roles on the hats, Eco Ninjas™ suggest using no more than 20 characters. Shorter names are easier and quicker to read, which is particularly important in surgical settings, where quick identification and clear communication are essential. Limiting the length of names ensures they can be easily seen and called out, improving efficiency during surgery.
