In any healthcare environment, maintaining hygiene and comfort is critical. One often overlooked but essential item is the scrub cap. Whether you're in surgery, on the ward, or working in dental or veterinary settings, having the right cap scrub can improve focus, support hygiene standards, and keep you comfortable during long hours.
At City Workwear, we stock a practical range of scrubs caps from trusted brands like Biz Care, Metro Workwear, and Softies. These are designed with real-world use in mind — breathable, durable, and suitable for a variety of professional roles.
Why Scrub Caps Matter
Scrub caps play a crucial role in infection control. By covering the hair, they help reduce the spread of contaminants in sterile environments such as operating theatres and treatment rooms.
But function isn't the only factor. Comfort, fit, and compatibility with different hair types — particularly longer hair — are just as important. That's why it's essential to choose a scrub cap that suits both your work environment and your comfort needs.
Scrub Caps for All Roles and Hair Types
1. Surgeon Cap
The classic surgeon cap is a staple in operating rooms and surgical settings. Designed for maximum coverage and minimal interference, these caps provide a secure fit that stays in place through long procedures. Many come with adjustable tie-backs or elastic bands for custom comfort.
At City Workwear, our Biz Care and Metro Workwear surgeon caps are tailored for sterility and ease of movement.
2. Women's Scrub Caps
Finding women's scrub caps that are both comfortable and functional can be a challenge — especially when working long shifts. That's why we offer designs made to fit smaller heads, with added space for hair and ponytail support. Lightweight fabrics and flexible closures make these ideal for daily use.
Softies and Metro Workwear provide a strong range of women's scrub caps with thoughtful features and reliable durability.
3. Best Scrub Caps for Long Hair
If you have long hair, standard caps won't always cut it. The best scrub caps for long hair provide more space, elasticised back panels, and, in some cases, a built-in pouch to hold hair securely. This reduces discomfort and prevents hair from escaping during tasks.
Our range includes top picks from Softies and Biz Care, offering caps that balance coverage with ease of use without needing constant readjustment throughout the day.
Key Features to Look For
When choosing a scrub cap, consider the following:
• Breathability – Fabric should allow air circulation to minimise sweating.
• Fit – Adjustable straps or elastic bands offer a more tailored feel.
• Hair Compatibility – Styles like cap scrub with ponytail holders are ideal for longer hair.
• Washing Durability – Frequent laundering is common, so caps should retain shape and quality.
• Brand Quality – Trusted manufacturers like Biz Care, Metro Workwear, and Softies offer consistency and long-term performance.
