Why Poly-Cotton Fabric?
While we offer a variety of colours to choose from, we recommend selecting the same colour for your hats as your scrubs. This creates a smart, coordinated look and fosters a sense of teamwork within the healthcare environment. The most popular combination is Royal Blue with Royal Blue Badges,

Badges
Our badges are digitally printed onto a coated polyester substrate and laminated with a protective film. They have excellent resistance to industrial laundering with accreditation to ISO 11611 and have flame retardant properties.
Writeable badges only come in Yellow, Red & White. This is due to readability when writing on the badges.
Regarding the characters of names and roles on the hats, we suggest using no more than 20 characters. Shorter names are easier and quicker to read, which is particularly important in surgical settings, where quick identification and clear communication are essential. Limiting the length of names ensures they can be easily seen and called out, improving efficiency during surgery.

How Badges Work
✓ Easy clip-on/clip off system
✓ Staff remove badges before laundering
✓ Badges stored in personal lockers
✓ Hats go to central laundry
✓ No cross-contamination risk
✓ Quick habit formation (2-3 weeks)
Central Laundering Process
Eco Ninjas theatre caps are designed to be laundered centrally alongside scrubs, eliminating the infection control concerns associated with home washing. We work with Elis and other NHS-approved laundry providers.
Why Central Laundering ?
Home laundering of surgical clothing doesn't meet NHS cleanliness and sterility standards. Central laundering ensures:
✓ Industrial-grade sanitisation
✓ Proper temperature control (70°C+)
✓ Infection control compliance
✓ Quality assurance testing
✓ Consistent results every time
Laundering Specifications
Our theatre caps are tested to withstand:
✓ Industrial wash cycles
✓ 70°C thermal disinfection
✓ Standard NHS laundry chemicals
✓ Tumble drying at medium heat
✓ No special handling required
Infection Control Approval
All Eco Ninjas products undergo rigorous testing to meet NHS infection prevention and control standards. Our caps are approved by infection control teams across multiple NHS trusts.
Testing & Certification
✓ Bacterial penetration testing
✓ Particle filtration efficiency tests
✓ Microbial barrier performance
✓ Post-laundering integrity tests
✓ Independent laboratory validation
Clinical Evidence
✓ Collaborated with Birmingham University
✓ Published infection control studies
✓ Real-world NHS implementation data
✓ No increase in SSI rates
✓ Approved by multiple IC teams
