surgical caps

Sterile head covers

Surgical caps are close-fitting head coverings worn by medical personnel in operating rooms to contain hair and prevent contamination of the sterile field.

They come in disposable and reusable varieties, often in solid colors or whimsical prints: The pediatric surgeon wore surgical caps with cartoon dinosaurs.

Also called scrub caps.
