Question
Which type of beard cover to find most ordered/acceptable for the surgical/OR setting Can you send samples? Thanks

Answer

This item would be considered our "heavy duty" beard cover as the material is thicker and is less likely for exposure of facial hair.  We do have another, thinner option that still provides coverage but is more breathable: http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/8685/new_prod_full.asp
