AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]The object of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a suit with which the dressing steps and procedures may be simplified to a maximum and for which the dressing steps are particularly instinctive in order to avoid handling errors.

Problems solved by technology

Such procedures are very tedious and generally impose that the user dress in a completely contrary way to what he / she is used to do and unlike how one would dress instinctively.

Therefore a whole handling operation ensues during which certain portions of the suit are folded back, where the user climbs onto a bench, slips in one leg without it touching the ground, and then the other, while being careful not to let go or touch anything, which requires exercise necessitating exceptional dexterity and long years of practice.

Consequently, there often results a little handling error or unbalance which requires changing suit.

Of course, such sterilely provided suits individually packaged beforehand, are expensive and represent a relatively high operating cost for the company requiring such suits.

Unfortunately, it requires a device with which the suit may be hung and a certain volume space for lifting the suit and lowering it down again.

Of course, since the environment of clean rooms is aseptic and sterilized, it is clear that the requirement of such a large volume space represents a considerable maintenance cost (about twice the height of a normal room).

Consequently, untimely exercise is avoided, but it is clear that the dressing procedure is not particularly simplified.
