Working towards a safer and more sustainable NHS by innovating cost-effective solutions.
Leading the change away from disposable products
Eco Ninjas Ltd are leading the way by helping hospital theatres transition from disposable theatre caps to reusable “name and role” quality fabric hats.
Not only do they enhance patient safety and reduce patients’ anxiety, but they also improve communication significantly during operations as everyone can quickly connect and identify easily with others.
We manufacture/supply all types of operating theatre hats including plain, with or without logos, name & role embroidered and our new badge hat range which we believe will transform the way staff interact with their colleagues on a daily basis.
Education for theatres
We have created an education for theatres section, this will be updated periodically with useful information.
We have tried to cover various topics such as history, reasons for the change to disposables and the many benefits and advantages of changing to our theatre badge hats along with how they will work in operating theatres.
New habits
Making this sustainable change away from disposable theatre hats to reusable will require a new habit to be built.
Staff removing their badges from their hats at the end of each shift, cleaning and storing them away until they use it again, will soon become an automatic response, just like the way staff take their disposable hats off and put them into the bin each day.

The benefits
As Eco Ninjas, we believe in the benefits of our Theatre badge hats.
Our hats not only improve patient safety by ensuring that surgical staff have clear visibility and are easily identifiable, they also improve staff morale, giving them a sense of pride in their work and team.
