Surgical Operating Hood

Surgical Operating Hoods are specialized protective head coverings worn by healthcare professionals during surgical procedures. They are part of the Hospital And Surgical Clothing And Related Special Purpose Items supply class, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.

Surgical Operating Hoods are designed to provide a barrier between the wearer's head and the surgical environment, helping to prevent contamination and maintain a sterile field. They are typically made of lightweight, breathable material such as non-woven fabric or spunbond polypropylene.

These hoods are commonly used in operating rooms, where they are worn in conjunction with other personal protective equipment (PPE) such as surgical masks, gowns, and gloves. They are an essential component of infection control protocols, helping to minimize the risk of surgical site infections and protect both patients and healthcare workers.

Surgical Operating Hoods are available in various sizes and styles to accommodate different head shapes and hair lengths. They are typically disposable and should be discarded after each use to maintain hygiene standards.

It's important to note that the specific features and requirements of Surgical Operating Hoods may vary depending on the healthcare facility and the type of surgical procedure being performed.
