Description

Functional Skirt Examination Suit

[0001] This technology relates to an examination suit that provides convenience in wearing as well as preventing falls for the user during the wearing process, and can be used by both men and women.

[0002] It is common for obstetrics and gynecology patients who visit the outpatient clinic or are hospitalized to change into a medical gown for convenience and hygiene during the procedure.

[0003] However, it is common for the medical gowns provided by hospitals to be washed and worn after being soiled by other patients or after being contaminated with excretions or secretions from the medical examination.

[0004] However, there is a risk of infection and transmission even during the process of washing patient gowns, and female patients, who are particularly sensitive to hygiene, may feel reluctant to wear patient gowns that have already been used by someone else, even if they have been washed.

[0005] Moreover, when providing outpatient treatment, some hospitals are unable to meet the daily patient volume of hundreds of patients, so there are many cases where the patient has to immediately wear the same treatment skirt as another patient, which causes serious hygiene problems and increases the risk of secondary infection for visiting patients.

[0006] Therefore, considering these sanitary issues and the psychological resistance of patients, disposable patient gowns are produced and used. An example of such disposable patient gowns (top and bottom) is shown in Figure 1.

[0007] The disposable patient gown of Fig. 1 is disclosed in Korean Utility Model No. 401450, and is composed of a head insertion portion (2) formed in the center of the shoulder area of ​​a patient gown (1) having a shape similar to a conventional raincoat, a waist strap (3) formed in the center of the back of the patient gown to wrap around the waist, and sleeveless arm insertions (4) located at the end of the head insertion portion (2). In addition, although not shown, a gown-shaped patient gown is also widely used.

[0008] Although these disposable hospital gowns are effective in solving hygiene problems, they are not particularly well-received by female patients undergoing obstetrics and gynecology treatment.

[0009] First of all, to wear a hospital gown or a hospital gown, you have to take off your entire top and bottom or one-piece and change into the hospital gown, which is uncomfortable and takes a lot of time.

[0010] In particular, in the case of obstetrics and gynecology, it is inefficient because taking off the upper body is virtually unnecessary, and in the case of people with disabilities or the elderly, when wearing a skirt that cannot be unfolded, the center of gravity is shaken and falls often occur during the process of sequentially inserting each leg into the skirt, which causes another safety accident.

[0011] In addition, if the patient is male, the skirt-type patient gown can be burdensome or cause embarrassment, so there is an inconvenience of having to prepare separate ones for men and women as male patients mainly wear pants-type gowns.

[0012] The present invention is intended to provide an examination suit (or patient suit) that is convenient to wear and prevents accidents from occurring during the wearing process by the user, and can be applied to both men and women, in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0013] As a means of solving the problem of the conventional problem described above, the functional examination skirt according to the present invention is characterized by including a body (100) formed in a form that can be worn around the user's waist, and a first fixing means (200) that is detachably provided on the upper part of the body (100) to prevent the body (100) wrapped around the waist from coming off.

[0014] In addition, it further includes a cutting line (110) formed by cutting the entire area of ​​the body (100) to have a length in the vertical direction at the center, and a second fixing means (300) formed on both sides of the cutting line (110) as well as on both ends of the body (100) and detachably attached thereto, but it is preferable that the first fixing means (200) and the second fixing means (300) are any one of a Velcro tape, a button, and a wire.

[0015] According to the present invention, unlike the conventional method, it is possible to prevent a fall accident due to shaking of the center while the user is wearing it, and it is possible to transform it into a skirt shape or a pair of pants shape, so that it can be used by both men and women.

[0016] Figure 1 is a drawing showing a conventional examination suit.

[0017] Figure 2 is a drawing showing a state in which a functional skirt examination suit according to the present invention is deployed.

[0018] Figure 3 is a drawing showing a state in which the examination suit of Figure 2 is used in a skirt shape.

[0019] Figure 4 is another embodiment of a functional skirt examination suit according to the present invention.

[0020] Figure 5 is a drawing showing a state in which the examination suit of Figure 4 is used in the form of pants.

[0021] Hereinafter, a functional examination skirt suit (hereinafter simply referred to as “examination suit”) according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0022] Before the explanation, it should be noted that the examination suit (1) according to the present invention can be used as a disposable item or can be washed and reused.

[0023] First, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the examination suit (1) according to the present invention largely includes a body (100), a first fixing means (200), and a second fixing means (300).

[0024] To explain in more detail, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the body (100) is configured to be worn by the user (patient) around the waist to provide convenience for medical staff during examination.

[0025] For example, the body (100) is formed using a breathable non-woven fabric or cloth (or cotton) material so that it has the shape of a plate overall when unfolded.

[0026] It is desirable that the height from the top to the bottom of the body (100) be the height from the user's waist to the ankle, and a rubber band (not shown) is applied longitudinally to the top to enable waist tightening through elasticity.

[0027] Meanwhile, as shown, the body (100) is formed so that the upper length is shorter than the lower length, so that after the user wears the body (100) around the waist in the form of a skirt, the upper diameter becomes smaller than the lower diameter, thereby facilitating wearing and facilitating medical examinations by medical staff.

[0028] In addition, the first fixing means (200) is configured to maintain the deformed shape when the body (100) described above is deformed into a cylindrical shape to wrap around the user's waist, and at the same time, to prevent the body (100) from being separated from the waist together with the rubber band.

[0029] To this end, the first fixing means (200) is in the form of a Velcro tape as shown, and has a predetermined length at the top of the body (100) to satisfy a detachable structure so that the body (100) can be worn by the user in the form of a skirt in response to different waist sizes of the user.

[0030] Meanwhile, the first fixing means (200) in the present invention may use a button (or snap button) or a wire that can be tied and untied in addition to a Velcro tape, and this can be equally applied to the second fixing means (300) described later.

[0031] And, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second fixing means (300) is configured to enable the body (100) described above to be worn in the form of pants, not a skirt, when the user is a male.

[0032] To this end, a cut line (110) having a predetermined length may be formed on the outer surface of the body (100), and the cut line (110) is formed by cutting so as to have a length in a vertical direction in the central portion based on the entire area of ​​the body (100), as illustrated.

[0033] In a state where the cutting line (110) is formed, the second fixing means (300) are formed on both sides symmetrically with respect to the cutting line (110) and are separately formed at both ends of the body (100) to enable attachment and detachment from each other.

[0034] Through this, in the case where the user is a male, the first fixing means (200) formed on the upper part of the body (100) is used to wrap the body (100) around the waist in the form of a skirt, and the second fixing means (300) provided on one side of the cut line (110) and one side of the end of the body (100) are attached to each other to wrap the user's legs, and in this manner, by connecting the other side of the cut line (110) and another second fixing means (300) provided on the other side of the body (100), it is possible to transform from a skirt form to a pants form.

[0035] Thus, in the present invention, a woman wears the examination suit (1) in the form of a skirt using the body (100) and the first fixing means (200), and a man wears the suit in the form of pants using the body (100), the second fixing means (300), and the second fixing means (300) to perform an examination.

[0036] As described above, the examination suit (1) according to the present invention is different from the conventional one in that it not only prevents a fall accident due to shaking of the center of gravity while the user is wearing it, but also has the effect of being usable by both men and women because it can be transformed into a skirt shape or a pair of pants.
