Benefits of technology

The surgical cap described in this patent is designed to protect users from water and other liquids, while also being breathable to prevent overheating and excess sweat. It has an outer layer that is semi-permeable, allowing for the dissipation of heat while blocking the passage of biological particles. The cap also includes a sweat retention system to prevent excess sweat from causing damage to the skin and from contaminating the workplace. The cap can be customized with the user's name and has an intermediate layer made of antimicrobial material to prevent the growth of microorganisms. The inner layer is breathable and has antimicrobial properties to protect against the growth of microorganisms after usage.

Problems solved by technology

Beside the previously motioned, the use of such protection devices in warm or hot environments becomes, itself, a problem as it increases the sensation of heat the user has while using them.
Considering the above for such products, neither the materials used nor the application of such pockets to the surgical caps is adequate.

[0017]The present invention is related to a textile item developed to be placed on the head of the health care providers.

[0018]This surgical cap is made of conventional fabrics, preferably coated in the outer layer by a material that is semipermeable, and has the main function, like other surgical caps, of creating a semipermeable system that maintains the users' scalp and hair in a contained environment, preventing the passage of particles to the environment around namely hair, sweat or other biological particles. Besides of this function, the surgical cap of the present invention has a storing system for small personal objects, which is made of, at least, one small pocket.

[0019]Such pocket is made of non-conducting materials like rubber, latex, neoprene, preferably neoprene, since this material has good electrical isolation properties.

[0020]When present, the pockets' closure system is an active pressure-based mechanism by means of a zipper, loop-and-hook, buttons, spring snap butt...
