AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention provides medical gowns that have been designed to make it easy for medical professionals to examine patients while also protecting their privacy. The gowns have features that allow for superior coverage without the need for multiple ties, buttons, snaps, or velcro closures. The main goal of the invention is to minimize the \"openness\" of the gowns and the number of ties that need to be secured and that are difficult to access, while still maintaining a high degree of accessibility for the medical practitioner."

Problems solved by technology

Typically, the clinical gown is made of a paper like fabric with no secure means for holding it close.
Although the ease of use by the medical professional is an important objective in the design of clinical gowns generally, the comfort of the individual patient has been largely unaddressed by the clinical gowns available on the market today.
