Embodiment Construction

[0025] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the accompanying drawings, will now be described in detail. While several embodiments are described in conjunction with the drawings, there is no intention to limit the invention to the exemplary embodiment or embodiments disclosed herein. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents.

[0026] As noted above, although a wide variety of medical garments exist in the industry, those medical garments do not adequately cover the patient, often unnecessarily overexposing the patient. Referring to Figures 1-15, several exemplary embodiments of medical garments of the present disclosure are shown. These embodiments provide one or more selectively openable sections on the medical garment for greater coverage of the patient. In other embodiments, this opening mechanism is modified, thereby reducing exposure to the patient.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a front view (or ventral view)...

Abstract

Medical garments are disclosed, which are configured to minimally expose a patient. One embodiment, among others, includes a medical garment that is improved by providing a front opening, and a flap that substantially covers the front opening. The front opening is located near the chest area. The front opening includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The flap also includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion of the flap is connected to the upper portion of the front opening in a hinge-like fashion. The flap is configured to open at the lower portion. In another embodiment, among others, the improvement on the medical garment comprises at least two openings: an upper front opening, and a lower front opening. The upper front opening is located near the chest area, while the lower front opening is located near the abdomen area. In this embodiment, the medical garment further comprises an upper flap that is configured to substantially cover the upper front opening, and a lower flap that is configured to substantially cover the lower front opening. A method of manufacturing a medical garment is also presented. One embodiment of the method comprises the steps of providing a selectably-openable upper front opening and a selectably-openable lower front opening. The selectably-openable upper front opening is located near the chest area of the medical garment, while the selectably-openable lower front opening is located near the abdomen area of the medical garment. The selectably-openable upper front opening is substantially covered by an upper flap, which is configured to selectably open and close over the upper front opening. The selectably-openable lower front opening is substantially covered by a lower flap, which is configured to selectably open and close over the lower front opening.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical equipment and, more particularly, to medical gowns. Background technique [0002] Medical garments such as gowns for patient examinations are relatively common in hospitals and doctors' offices. These garments are generally used to maintain a level of modesty in the patient's clothing so as to minimize exposure and thus minimize the patient's possible discomfort during procedures such as a physical examination. [0003] Various hospital gowns have been proposed in order to minimize patient exposure. Examples of these gowns include Wheeler-Dickson's design (US D478,203), Truitt's design (U.S. Patent No. 5,133,086), Belcher's design (U.S. Patent No. 4,759,083), Gordon's design (U.S. Patent No. 4,964,173) and Cohen's design (US Patent Nos. 4,930,161 and 5,097,536). Although these gowns can reduce exposure to some extent, these gowns have various disadvantages. In view of these disadvantages, there is...
