Velilla 534006S stretch healthcare cap: the fabric cap that goes with the stretch scrubs
Reusable healthcare cap in the same stretch fabric as the 533006S trousers and the 535206S top. Elastic area at the back and adjustable ties, so it holds the hair back without squeezing the forehead. It's reusable: wash it and wear it again, unlike a single-use disposable cap.
✅ Features
Elastic back area: gathers long hair at the back without the tight band of a disposable cap, which is what leaves a mark on your forehead and gives you a headache at the end of the shift.
Adjustable ties: adapts to any hair volume, including tied-up long hair and very short hair.
Stretch fabric with elastane: gives when you put it on and recovers its shape wash after wash.
Reusable: over a year it replaces hundreds of single-use caps. It's the argument that scores points in tenders with waste-reduction criteria.
Thirteen matching colours: the same as the 533006S trousers and the 535206S top, for a complete uniform.

Matching set: 533006S trousers and 535206S top
🧺 Care
Wash at 60 °C together with the rest of the uniform.
Tumble dry at medium or low temperature so as not to degrade the elastane.
Do not use chlorine bleach.
No ironing needed.
It is not a sterile cap: in operating theatres and isolation, the facility's protocol applies.
💡 Tip: Allow three caps per person, not one. A fabric cap is washed daily, and with two the rotation breaks down the first day the washing is delayed; with three there's always a clean one. It works out cheaper than disposable caps even when buying three at once, because each one withstands hundreds of washes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable for the operating theatre?
Not as a sterile cap. In operating theatres and isolation areas the facility's protocol applies, which usually requires a sterile single-use cap. This cap is for consulting rooms, wards, veterinary, laboratory and beauty use.
How many do I need per person?
Three. With two, the rotation breaks down the first day the washing is delayed. With three there's always a clean one.
Does it squeeze the forehead like a disposable one?
No. The elastic band is at the back, not on the forehead, which is exactly what makes a fabric cap more comfortable over long shifts.
Does it withstand industrial washing at 90 degrees?
The manufacturer specifies 60 °C. At 90 °C the elastane degrades and the cap loses its ability to hold the hair back.
Can it be sterilised in an autoclave?
No. Elastane cannot withstand steam at 121-134 °C.
Is it worth it compared with a disposable cap?
Yes, within a few weeks in terms of cost per use, and it also scores points in public tenders with waste-reduction criteria.
Is the colour exactly the same as the stretch scrubs?
Yes. It shares the fabric and the thirteen-colour chart with the 533006S trousers and the 535206S top.
