Surgical hoods are disposable head coverings worn by surgical staff to minimize contamination risks during procedures. They shield both patients and healthcare workers from hair, facial hair, and potential debris, helping maintain a sterile field and reduce infection risks.
These devices are generally single-use, non-sterile, and made from soft, lightweight materials. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they typically fall under general surgical attire standards, with compliance requirements for manufacturing, labeling, and distribution.
