Benefits of technology

The aim of this patent is to create a hospital garment that offers better coverage and privacy than standard hospital gowns.

Problems solved by technology

Such gowns are not suitable for regular wear and do not allow a patient to be inhibited while moving about a hospital or other facility since they have large openings enabling ready access by medical personnel for examination or treatments.
Tubes are typically taped to be held in position, but this has been found to be ineffective as the tape comes loose as the patient moves about.
While garments have been developed, which have improved the casualness of these garments, the problem regarding effective attachment of the tubes while moving about has not been satisfactorily solved.
