Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a garment for use in clinical inspection that includes a front panel, a back panel, and a collar for the neck. The garment has hollow sleeves for the arms, which are connected to the front or back panel and the collar. The garment also has shoulder straps that connect to the collar and can be used to adjust the size of the garment. The garment has openings at the top to expose the chest and back of the person wearing it. The technical effects of the invention include improved comfort, adjustable size, and good inspection coverage for the upper body of the person.

Problems solved by technology

While a subject's body may be marked directly, using an ink pen or the like, the marking is prone to fading away over time as a result of the subject bathing, sweating, or other like activities.
Further, marking of the subject's skin is often undesirable to the subject.

Abstract

A garment includes a connected front and back panels forming a cavity for an upper body of a subject. Each of a pair of sleeves is connected to at least one of the front or back panel and is in communication with the cavity. A collar is configured to surround a neck of the subject. Each of a pair of shoulder straps is connected at one end to the collar and at an opposing end to at least one of the front or back panels or a sleeve. A first opening is formed by at least the straps, a top edge of the front panel, and the collar to expose a top portion of the subject's chest. A second opening is formed by at least the straps, a top edge of the back panel, and the collar to expose a top portion of the subject's back.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]An embodiment of the present invention relates generally to a garment, and more particularly, to a garment having defined openings for clinical inspection.[0002]During testing and evaluation of products for the treatment of dermal conditions, such as for example, truncal acne, careful observation of the same area of skin of the subject over an extended period of time is required. This is an important aspect of the study to accurately assess whether the treatment is having the desired effect. While a subject's body may be marked directly, using an ink pen or the like, the marking is prone to fading away over time as a result of the subject bathing, sweating, or other like activities. Further, marking of the subject's skin is often undesirable to the subject.[0003]It is therefore desirable to provide a garment with defined openings that can be repeatedly worn by the subject to expose the same area of skin for each examination during the study.BRIEF SUM...
