Surgical hats are the caps which are considered as the first line of protection against any infection. They are also referred to as bouffant caps, scrub caps or skull caps. Medical staff members cover their entire heads with a surgical hat to prevent infection and reduce the amount of hair and skin that falls out while patients are receiving medical treatment and procedures.

It is frequently utilized for surgical scrub caps due to its tremendous utility.
