There are many hospitals which started using the disposable surgical scrub hats, which is just a new step in the medical field. Some of them have gone further and started using only disposables. They have said a strict No' to the reusable cotton scrubs and this has led to a lot of debate. The hygienic factor remains a matter of debate and there are no evidences to actually prove that the air tight and sterilized disposable scrubs have actually an edge over the sterilized ones.
There is a quite common issue which some of the hospital authorities suggest about the cotton hats. They should practice utmost care to keep them maintained and well sterilized. The human head always contains a lot of bacterial infections and the sterilized ones help to keep them medically healthy. Sterilizing is very important to stop the bacteria from spreading.
As with the disposable hats, there is no need to worry about sterilization at all. This is mainly because these hats can be totally avoided as they mostly come in air-tight containers. The only concern that remains is that of the exterior part of these packets, which are exposed to the germs and other kinds of viruses. This makes it quite clear that even if a hospital switches to the disposable hats, they still have to take all the care in storing and using the hats there are chances of the germs inflowing from the outside parts of the cover.
There is one true advantage of the disposable scrubs that they are easy to use. There are no absolutely no headaches associated with the upholding when it comes to the disposable hats. You just need to tear open a packet, and use the hat, and then disposing it off properly. This is obviously much more convenient and easy to use than the sterilized ones.
