Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a surgical gown worn by doctors and the like during surgery. Background Art

[0002] As disclosed in Patent Document 1, medical workers such as doctors wear sufficiently disinfected and sterilized surgical gowns to secure a clean area on the outer surface of their own bodies during surgery. This surgical gown functions to prevent infection by bacteria, viruses and the like during surgery and maintain cleanliness. Prior Art Literature Patent Literature

[0003] Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent No. 6773490 Disclosure of the Invention Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] As such surgical gowns, there are reusable gowns manufactured from reusable cloth or the like, and disposable gowns manufactured from non-woven fabric or the like intended to be discarded after use. However, since disposable gowns are discarded after a single use, they generate a large amount of medical waste. For this reason, reusable gowns that are collected after use and subjected to washing and sterilization treatment have attracted attention in recent years. The use of reusable gowns enables environmentally friendly use without generating a large amount of medical waste.

[0005] However, surgical gowns that have been conventionally used as reusable gowns have, as shown in Figure 11, a front panel (31) with one back panel (32) and the other back panel (33) attached to both sides. One back panel (32) is connected to one waist tie (34) and one outer tie (35), while the other back panel (33) is connected to the other waist tie (36) and the other outer tie (37).

[0006] Generally, one waist tie (34) and the other waist tie (36), and one outer tie (35) and the other outer tie (37) are tied together with a bow knot, so that one back panel (32) and the other back panel (33) are partially overlapped on the wearer's back, as shown in Figure 6, and the two back panels (32) and the other back panel (33) are connected in a way that makes them difficult to separate.

[0007] Furthermore, the surgical gown described above is difficult to remove after use, as it is prone to damage, unlike disposable gowns. Therefore, when removing the surgical gown, it is necessary to untie the bow knots connecting one waist tie (34) to the other waist tie (36), and one outer tie (35) to the other outer tie (37), as described above.

[0008] However, since each of the aforementioned bows is located on the back of the wearer, it is time-consuming for the wearer to untie the bows themselves, or they may need someone else to untie them, making the process of taking off the garment cumbersome.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a surgical gown that allows the wearer to easily and quickly remove the surgical gown themselves after surgery. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a surgical gown comprising a front body, a back body consisting of one back body continuous with one side of the front body and the other back body continuous with the other side of the front body, and a pair of sleeves positioned between the back body and the front body, wherein one end of one waist tie is connected to the one back body side and the other end of the other waist tie is connected to the other back body side, one snap is provided on the inner or outer surface of the one waist tie, and the other snap is provided on the inner or outer surface of the other waist tie which can be detachably engaged with the one snap, so that the inner surfaces of the one waist tie and the other waist tie, or the outer surfaces of the one waist tie and the other waist tie, can be detachably connected by engaging the one snap and the other snap.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned one-sided snap and / or other-sided snap may be provided in multiples on the one-sided waist tie and / or the other-sided waist tie. By providing multiple one-sided snaps and / or other-sided snaps in this way, it becomes possible to appropriately adjust the engagement position between the one-sided snap and the other-sided snap according to the wearer's waist circumference.

[0012] Furthermore, one collar tie may be provided on the neckline side of one back panel, and an insertion ring for inserting the one collar tie may be provided on the neckline side of the other back panel. Here, as shown in Figure 11, a conventional reusable gown has one first collar tie (40) and one second collar tie (41) on the neckline side of one back panel (32), and another first collar tie (42) and another second collar tie (43) on the neckline side of the other back panel.

[0013] Then, by tying a bow knot between the first collar tie (40) and the other first collar tie (42), and between the second collar tie (41) and the other second collar tie (43), one back panel (32) and the other back panel (33) are connected and secured at the neckline on the back of the wearer. However, similar to the waist tie, since the bow knots for the collar ties are on the back of the wearer, it is troublesome for the wearer to untie the bow knots themselves, or they may need someone else to untie them, making the process of taking off the garment cumbersome.

[0014] Therefore, by providing an insertion ring on one back panel as described above, the other collar strap of the other back panel is inserted through the insertion ring, and the other collar strap is fixed on the one back panel side, making it possible to connect and fix the one back panel and the other back panel at the neckline side in a way that makes them difficult to separate. Thus, as in the conventional method, there is no need to untie the bow at two places on the neckline side when taking off the garment, and only the other collar strap is detached from the one back panel, making the process of taking off the garment even easier. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] As described above, the present invention allows one waist tie and the other waist tie to be detachably connected by one snap and the other snap. Therefore, when removing a surgical gown, the wearer pulls the front of the surgical gown forward with their own hands, and this pulling force pulls the one waist tie and the other waist tie in opposite directions on the wearer's back, releasing the engagement between the one snap and the other snap.

[0016] Therefore, the surgical gown can be removed easily and quickly without the need for cumbersome tasks such as untying a bow on the wearer's back. [Example 1]

[0017] Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described as follows: As shown in Figure 1, (1) is the front body, and one back body (2) and the other back body (3) are connected to both sides of this front body (1), and the one back body (2) and the other back body (3) together constitute the back body (28) of this embodiment. Furthermore, a pair of sleeve portions (5) are provided on the neckline (4) side between the one back body (2) and the other back body (3) and the front body (1). In this embodiment, the right side in Figure 1 is the one back body (2) and the left side is the other back body (3), but in other different embodiments, this is not limited to this, and the right side may be the other back body (3) and the left side may be the one back body (2).

[0018] As shown in Figure 1, one end of the one waist tie (6) is connected to the one back panel (2), and the other end of the other waist tie (7) is connected to the other back panel (3). Specifically, one end of the one waist tie (6) is attached to the inner surface (8) of the one back panel (2) at the connection point (17) with the front panel, and the other waist tie (7) is connected to one side (20) of the other back panel (3) that faces the one back panel (2).

[0019] In this embodiment, as described above, one end of the waist tie (6) is attached to the connection part (17) between the back panel (2) and the front panel. However, in other embodiments, this is not limited to this, and one end of the waist tie (6) can be attached to any position on the back panel (2). Similarly, in this embodiment, the other waist tie (7) is attached to one side (20) of the other back panel (3) that faces the back panel (2), as described above. However, in other embodiments, this is not limited to this, and one end of the other waist tie (7) can be attached to any position on the other back panel (3).

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, one snap (11) is provided at four intervals along the length of the one waist tie (6) on the inner surface (10) of the one waist tie (6). The other snap (13), which can be detachably engaged with the one snap (11), is provided at two intervals along the length of the other waist tie (7) on the inner surface (12) of the other waist tie (7). In this embodiment, the one snap (11) and the other snap (13) are provided on the inner surface (12) of the one waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7), respectively, as described above. However, in other embodiments, this is not limited to this, and it is also possible to provide the one snap (11) and the other snap (13) on the outer surface (14) and (15) of the one waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7), respectively.

[0021] In this embodiment, as described above, four snaps (11) are provided on one waist tie (6) and two snaps (13) are provided on the other waist tie (7). However, in other embodiments, this is not limited to this, and one snap (11) and one snap (13) can be provided on one waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7), or any number as needed.

[0022] As described above, by providing one snap (11) on the inner surface (10) of one waist tie (6) and the other snap (13) on the inner surface (12) of the other waist tie (7), the inner surfaces (10) of one waist tie (6) and the inner surface (12) of the other waist tie (7) can be detachably connected via the snap (11) and the other snap (13), as shown in Figure 2, by engaging the snap (11) and the other snap (13). In other different embodiments, if the snap (11) and the other snap (13) are provided on the outer surfaces (14) and (15) of the waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7), the outer surfaces (14) of the waist tie (6) and the outer surfaces (15) of the other waist tie (7) can be detachably connected via the snap (11) and the other snap (13).

[0023] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, in said one back body (2), one end of one outer strap (29) is connected to one side (16) facing said other back body (3), and one end of the other outer strap (30) is connected to the connecting part (18) between said other back body (3) and front body (1). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, one neck strap (21) is provided on the neckline (4) side of said one back body (2). Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a loop-shaped insertion ring (22) through which said one neck strap (21) can be inserted is provided near the neckline (4) of said other back body (3), and one end of the other neck strap (23) is connected to said other back body (3) side at said neckline (4).

[0024] A method for putting on and taking off the surgical gown (26) configured as described above will be described below. First, the method for putting on the surgical gown (26) of the present embodiment will be described: the wearer puts both arms through the sleeve parts (5), and covers the entire front of the wearer with the front body (1) side of the surgical gown (26). Then, the one back body (2) and the other back body (3) are connected as described below.

[0025] That is, first, in order to connect the vicinity of the neckline (4) of the one back body (2) and the vicinity of the neckline (4) of the other back body (3), as shown in FIG. 4, the one neck strap (21) of the one back body (2) is inserted into the insertion ring (22) of the other back body (3), and in this state, said one neck strap (21) and the other neck strap (23) on the back body side are tied into a bow knot (24) as shown in FIG. 5. At this time, said bow knot (24) is positioned on the other back body (3) side as shown in FIG. 6. Thereby, the one side (20) of the other back body (3) does not slip downward, and the vicinity of the neckline (4) of the other back body (3) is held at an appropriate position due to the presence of said insertion ring (22). Therefore, the neckline (4) sides of the one back body (2) and the other back body (3) can be reliably overlapped with each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, as described above, the one collar strap (21) of the one back panel (2) is inserted through the insertion ring (22) of the other back panel (3), and the one collar strap (21) and the other collar strap (23) on the back panel side are tied together in a bow (24) to connect and fix the one back panel (2) and the other back panel (3) at the neckline (4). However, in other embodiments, this is not the only option. In one embodiment, a one-sided engaging part (not shown), such as a snap, is provided on the one collar strap (21), and instead of providing the other collar strap (23) on the neckline (4) side of the other back panel (3), a other-sided engaging part (not shown) that can engage with the one-sided engaging part is provided, and the one back panel (2) and the other back panel (3) are connected and fixed at the neckline (4) by engaging the one-sided engaging part and the other-sided engaging part.

[0027] Next, the one back panel (2) and the other back panel (3) are connected near the wearer's waist. First, in order to connect the one waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7), the one snap (11) of the one waist tie (6) and the other snap (13) of the other waist tie (7) are engaged. This connects the inner surface (10) of the one waist tie (6) and the inner surface (12) of the other waist tie (7), as shown in Figure 2.

[0028] Here, multiple snaps (11) and (13) are provided on both the one-sided waist tie (6) and the other-sided waist tie (7). Therefore, for example, if the wearer's waist circumference is small, as shown in Figure 2, the one-sided snap (11) and the other-sided snap (13) closest to the one-sided back panel (2) and the other-sided back panel (3) can be selected and engaged. On the other hand, if the wearer's waist circumference is large, as shown in Figure 7, the one-sided snap (11) and the other-sided snap (13) furthest from the one-sided back panel (2) and the other-sided back panel (3) can be selected and engaged. In this way, the total length of the waist tie, which is composed of the one-sided waist tie (6) and the other-sided waist tie (7), can be adjusted to a length that suits the wearer's waist circumference. Thus, by appropriately selecting the one-sided snap (11) and the other-sided snap (13) when wearing the garment, the total length of the waist tie can be adjusted to suit the wearer's waist circumference at any time.

[0029] As described above, after the connection between the inner surface (10) of one waist tie (6) and the inner surface (12) of the other waist tie (7) is completed, the one outer tie (29) and the other outer tie (30) are tied together in a bow (25) at the waist of the wearer on the other back panel (3), as shown in Figure 6. This connects the one back panel (2) and the other back panel (3) in a way that makes them difficult to separate, with the two back panels (2) and the other back panel (3) partially overlapping on the wearer's back, as shown in Figure 6, thus completing the donning of the surgical gown (26) in this embodiment.

[0030] Next, the method for removing the surgical gown (26) worn as described above will be explained below. First, the bow knot (25) between one outer tie (29) and the other outer tie (30) is untied, and then the bow knot (24) between one collar tie (21) and the other collar tie (23) is untied as shown in Figure 8. Here, as shown in Figure 6, the bow knot (25) between one outer tie (29) and the other outer tie (30), and the bow knot (24) between one collar tie (21) and the other collar tie (23) are both located on the side of the wearer's midline where the other back panel (3) and the front panel (1) connect (18). Therefore, since both bow knots (24) and (25) are within the wearer's reach, the wearer can easily untie them themselves without the help of others.

[0031] Then, by untying the two bows (24) and (25) mentioned above, the connection between one back panel (2) and the other back panel (3) becomes solely through the engagement of one snap (11) and the other snap (13) between one waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7). In this state, as shown in Figure 9, the wearer pulls the neckline (4) side of the surgical gown (26) toward the front of the wearer. As a result, one waist tie (6) and the other waist tie (7) are pulled away from each other on the back side of the wearer, and this pulling force releases the engagement between one snap (11) and the other snap (13).

[0032] As a result, as shown in Figure 10, the wearer can completely separate the front (1), one back (2), and the other back (3) of the surgical gown (26) that they were wearing from themselves. Finally, the wearer pulls their arms out of the sleeves (5) and stores the surgical gown (26) in the collection bag with the outer surface facing inward, rolled up as a whole. By removing the surgical gown (26) in the above manner, the wearer can remove the surgical gown (26) without touching the outer surface of the surgical gown (26) they were wearing, while maintaining cleanliness.

[0033] As described above, the wearer can easily untie the bows (24) and (25) at the neckline (4) and waist, and by pulling the front (1) side forward, they can easily remove the surgical gown (26) while maintaining cleanliness. Therefore, the wearer can easily and quickly remove the surgical gown (26) themselves without having to perform cumbersome tasks such as untying bows on the back of the wearer.
