Further Information:

Tight hairstyles, commonly worn by operating theatre staff, can put significant tension on the hair, which increases the risk of traction alopecia.
This condition, which results from continuous pulling on the hair (e.g. tight ponytails, braids, or weaves), can lead to hair follicle damage, split ends, and headaches.
For staff working in operating theatres, where hair must be securely tied up for up to 12 hours a day, the impact of tight hairstyles combined with the prolonged pressure of wearing a hat can exacerbate these issues.
To address this, Eco Ninjas™ carefully designed the hammock hat, which gently cradles the hair in a downward pouch, allowing the hair to fall in the same direction as gravity, rather than against it.
This design reduces the tension placed on the hair, helping to prevent traction alopecia and providing greater comfort for those working long hours in demanding environments.
The hammock hat is an ideal alternative to traditional theatre hats, offering a balance between maintaining hygiene and safety while promoting healthy hair care practices.
In a complex, high–pressure environment, comfort is crucial, and Eco Ninjas™ believe their hammock hat provides the solution for better hair care and overall well–being during long shifts.

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.
