Surgical Caps!

Specialties Operating Room

Published

How I hate the hat hair! Know of any surgical hats that don't flatten.

I've got the terry cloth band, boufont style already. The paper hat elastic hurts my head and it is hot, too.

I suppose I need to just keep a travel hair dryer to 'fix the flat'.

:chuckle

I was just looking at the Sparkling Earth website, and they have some new caps that are made for people with bangs. I don't know if you have bangs or not, but the design of these look like what we used to do in the OR with two caps, and people without bangs wore their caps this way too because it helped with flattening.

Good luck! Hat hair is definitely one of the down sides to working in the OR. :no:

I used to work with a nurse who would pull her hair on top of her head, then place rollers in it. She would wear the surgeons cap for people with breads, turned backwards and tied at the base on her skull.At the end of the day she had GREAT hair. If your hair is long, this may help.

I haven't purchased from them. Therefore, I can't give an opinion on service, etc.
