Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an easily dressed and undressed gown capable of regulating body temperature of a user by dressing and undressing, the gown including a top garment having a sleeve; and a bottom garment detachably coupled to the top garment, wherein the sleeve is detachably coupled so that a predetermined region of the arm is exposed.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This present invention relates to an easily dressed and undressed gown, and more specifically, to an easily dressed and undressed gown capable of being dressed and undressed more conveniently and particularly maintaining body temperature of an operating surgeon more easily so that body temperature of a patient is appropriately maintained without artificially controlling the temperature of an operating room.

BACKGROUND ART

During surgery, the body temperature of a patient is lowered since the self-regulation ability of the patient decreases and the internal organs of the body are exposed to the outside, which often leads to hypothermia. Hypothermia is an important criterion for the adequacy of patient treatment since it may increase complications and recovery period by adversely affecting the patient's infection risk and recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the operating room temperature appropriately.
Meanwhile, a surgical gown generally used by a medical staff is made of as a non-ventilated material in order to prevent contamination of the patient and infection by foreign substances during surgery. The non-ventilated gown may cause a problem of raising body temperature when being worn. If the body temperature of the operating surgeon and staffs in the operating room increases by the wearing the surgical gown, it may cause a problem that the concentration of the surgery decreases as the fatigue of the surgery increases.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Technical Problem

The present disclosure is directed to providing a gown, which may be dressed and undressed more conveniently to easily lower the body temperature of an operating surgeon, so that the cooling in an operating room is reduced, which helps to maintain a proper body temperature of a patient. In addition, after the surgery is finished, a lower end part and an arm sleeve portion may be detached so that the gown may be used as a surgical undergarment, which allows the operating surgeon to perform other surgery without discomfort in undressing the gown.
The object of the present disclosure is not limited to the above, and may be applied to gowns of semiconductor facilities and pharmaceutical facilities that are not mentioned herein, as being clearly understood from the following disclosure by those skilled in the art.

Technical Solution

In order to accomplish the above object, an easily dressed and undressed gown capable of regulating body temperature of a user by dressing and undressing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a top garment having a sleeve; and a bottom garment detachably coupled to the top garment, wherein the sleeve is detachably coupled so that a predetermined region of the arm is exposed.
Here, the top garment may have a back region that is separated into a left region and a right region from an upper side to a lower side, and the top garment may include at least one string to form a knot at each of the separated left and right regions.
Here, a protection cover may be provided to the separated left or right region so that the knot is not exposed when the knot is formed by means of the string.
Here, a front region of the top garment may formed to be separated into left and right regions, a first Velcro tape is provided to connect the separated left and right regions, a chest region of the top garment is cut along the sleeves of both arms, a second Velcro tape is provided to each region of both arms that is cut to the sleeve, and a back region of the top garment has a handle of a “

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this case, it should be noted that in the accompanying drawings, like components are indicated by like reference numerals as possible. In addition, a detailed description of the known function and configuration that may obscure the gist of the present disclosure will be omitted. For the same reason, some elements in the accompanying drawings are exaggerated, omitted or schematically illustrated.
In addition, throughout the specification, when a part is explained as “including” a certain component, it means that other components may be further included rather than excluding other components, unless specifically stated to the contrary. In addition, throughout the specification, the term “on” means that a component is positioned above or below a target portion, and does not necessarily mean that it is positioned above based on the direction of gravity.
Hereinafter, an easily dressed and undressed gown according to the present disclosure will be described as being applicable to an operating room of a hospital as an example. However, the use of the present disclosure is not limited as a surgical gown in the operating room of a hospital and may be applied to semiconductor facilities or pharmaceutical facilities.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing an easily dressed and undressed gown according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 2 is a diagram showing that a sleeve and a bottom garment are detached from the gown of FIG. 1; and FIG. 3 is a rear view showing the top garment of FIG. 2.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, an easily dressed and undressed gown according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a top garment 110 and a bottom garment 120.
The top garment 110 has a sleeve 111. The sleeve 111 is detachably coupled so that the sleeve 111 may be attached or detached more easily according to the body temperature of a user (hereinafter referred to as “operating surgeon”). The sleeve 111 is attached or detached approximately at an elbow position, so that the gown may maintain a short-sleeved shirt shape even after the sleeve 111 is detached, thereby protecting the operating surgeon from external contaminated environments. When detaching, a Velcro 112 may be used so that the sleeve 111 is easily detached when being pulled. The coupling method may also employ a snap button instead of Velcro, so the coupling method is not limited thereto.
At this time, the top garment 110 is formed to be separated into a left region and a right region from an upper side to a lower side of the back. At least one string 113 may be provided so that a knot may formed at each of the separated left and right regions. In addition, when the knot is formed by means of the string 113, a protection cover 114 may be provided to the separated left or right region so that the knot is not exposed. The protection cover 114 may be coupled to the top garment 110 using Velcro so that the knot is not exposed, thereby preventing the knot from getting caught by surrounding articles during surgery.
The bottom garment 120 is detachably coupled to the top garment 110. The bottom garment 120 is formed to extend downward from a waist position of the top garment 110 to surround around a thigh region, and is not formed in the form of pants.
FIG. 4 is a front view and a rear view showing an easily dressed and undressed gown according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 5 is a photograph showing the surgical gown of FIG. 4; and FIG. 6 is a photograph for illustrating a process of undressing the easily dressed and undressed gown according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, an easily dressed and undressed gown according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure may include a top garment 210 and a bottom garment (not shown), as described above.
A front region of the top garment 210 is formed to be separated into a left region and a right region. A first Velcro tape 211 is arranged in the separated left and right regions along a vertical direction to couple the left and right regions. In addition, a chest region is cut along the sleeves of both arms at approximately right angles to the direction of the first Velcro tape 211, and a second Velcro tape 212 is arranged in the cut region to couple the cut regions. In other words, in the present disclosure, a cut surface in a roughly “
” shape is formed at the front surface of the top garment 210.
In addition, a back region of the top garment 210 includes a handle 213 formed in a “
” shape. In the “
”-shaped handle 213 of the top garment, a lower horizontal region 2132 is formed relatively longer than an upper horizontal region 2131, so that when the gripping portion 1233 is gripped and pulled, the top garment may be undressed at the same time.
If the upper and lower horizontal regions of the handle 213 have the same length, when a force for separating is applied, the force is mainly applied to the chest of the human body, which is structurally wide and protruding forward, so the lower side of the top garment is relatively not easily separated.
In the present disclosure, as described above, since the lower horizontal region of the handle 213 formed in the “
” shape is formed longer, the force is applied to the lower horizontal region more, thereby preventing the force from being applied to the chest more. Therefore, the force is applied to the upper side and the lower side identically, so that the first Velcro 211 and the second Velcro 212 are separated smoothly at the same time.
Therefore, if the handle 213 is gripped and pulled, the first Velcro tape 211 and the second Velcro tape 212 that couple the cut surfaces of the “
” shape formed at the front surface of the top garment are separated, so that the top garment may be easily separated from the front to the rear, thereby securing convenient undressing.
In the operating room, it is recommended to place the surgeon's hand in front of the body in order to prevent infection. In the present disclosure, since the front surface of the top garment forms the cut surface of the “
” shape, as shown in FIG. 6, if the handle is gripped and pulled at the back of the surgeon in a state where the surgeon stretches out the arms in front of the chest, the top garment is guided to be undressed along the cut surface of the “
” shape formed at the front surface of the top garment, so that the cut surface is easily separated in a state where the surgeon stretches the hands to the front without pulling back the hands, thereby preventing infection.
A gripping portion 1233 located between the lower horizontal region 2132 and the upper horizontal region 2131 is preferably not stitched to facilitate gripping.
As described above, the gown according to the present disclosure may properly control the body temperature of an operating surgeon and a medical staff. Through this, the operating surgeon and the medical staff may focus on the surgery. In addition, since there is no need to artificially regulate the temperature inside the operating room, it is not needed to use expensive equipment, thereby saving costs. Moreover, after the surgery is over, the operating surgeon may wear the gown like a surgical undergarment, so it is possible to reduce the separate undressing process.
Meanwhile, the embodiments of the present disclosure disclosed in this specification and drawings are merely specific examples to easily explain the technical content of the present disclosure and to help the understanding of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that other modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present disclosure in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
