Velilla 534007 microfibre healthcare cap: reusable, antibacterial and matching the scrubs
Fabric cap for healthcare staff, in the same microfibre as the 533007 scrub trousers and the 535207 tunic. It is reusable: wash it and use it again, unlike the disposable polypropylene cap. Elasticated area at the back and adjustment ties, with antibacterial and liquid-repellent treatment.
✅ Features
Reusable: over a year it replaces hundreds of disposable caps. It is the argument that wins tenders with waste-reduction criteria.
Elasticated back: gathers the hair without squeezing the forehead, which is where disposable caps leave a mark after a few hours.
Tie adjustment: adapts to any hair volume, including long hair tied up.
Antibacterial treatment: slows bacterial growth between washes.
Liquid-repellent: water-based splashes run off instead of soaking in.
Eleven matching colours: the same as the 533007 scrub trousers and the 535207 tunic, for a complete, consistent uniform.
👷 Suitable for

Dental clinics and private practices.
Veterinary clinics and dog grooming.
Laboratories and low-requirement cleanrooms.
Beauty centres, spas and thermal spas.
Food industry and institutional kitchens, to keep hair tied back.

💡 Tip: A fabric cap does not replace a sterile single-use cap in operating theatres or isolation areas; there, the facility's protocol applies. Where it does pay off: consulting rooms, wards, veterinary, beauty and laboratories. Allow two or three per person so you can rotate while one is in the wash.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable for operating theatres?
Not as a sterile cap. In operating theatres and isolation areas, the facility's protocol applies, which normally requires a sterile single-use cap. This cap is for consulting rooms, wards, veterinary, laboratories and beauty.
How many caps do I need per person?
Two or three. That way there is always a clean one while another is in the wash, and the rotation isn't broken.
Is it really one size fits all?
Yes. The combination of elasticated back and adjustment ties covers everything from short hair to long hair tied up.
Can it withstand industrial washing at 90 degrees?
The manufacturer specifies 60 °C. At 60 °C it works well in industrial laundry. At 90 °C the antibacterial and repellent treatments degrade sooner.
Can it be sterilised in an autoclave?
No. Polyester microfibre is not approved for autoclaving.
Is it worth it compared with a disposable cap?
In cost per use, yes, after just a few weeks. And in public tenders with environmental criteria, the reusable cap scores where the disposable one loses points.
Does the colour exactly match the scrubs?
Yes. It shares fabric and colour range with the 533007 trousers and the 535207 tunic.
