Abstract
Description
- In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 1.76, a claim of priority is included in an Application Data Sheet filed concurrently herewith. Accordingly, the present invention claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/087,440, entitled “PATIENT GOWN,” filed Oct. 5, 2020. The contents of the above referenced application are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to medical gowns and, in particularly, a garment for patients having ease of access for medical treatment scenarios wherein access to sections of a patient's body are necessary without garment removal or patient embarrassment.
- A garment commonly worn by patients in a doctor's office or hospital is a gown that covers the frontal area of a patient and, if tied properly, the back of the patient. Such garments are functional in that they provide medical personnel access to the patient's torso for examination or medical procedures. For instance, such a garment provides ease of access to sections of the patient's body for performing numerous functions including: medical examinations, application or attachment of various medical devices or apparatuses to the patient's body, taking vital signs, insertion or removal of intravenous lines (which are the largest reason for hospital acquired infections—also known as nosocomial), or attachment and removal of cardiac monitoring apparatus, surgical procedures, and so forth. Such garments are supposed to allow the above functions without causing discomfort, unnecessarily exposing the patient's body or causing the inconvenience of having to disrobe in order for the medical professional to perform the required duties. Unfortunately, such garments provide little privacy to the patient as they fit poorly, and most any movement leads to torso exposure, which can be humiliating to the patient.
- In addition, access to the patient's upper torso requires garment removal, wherein a patient must insert or withdraw their arm through an armhole. This can be difficult if the patient has limited mobility. Even if the patient is mobile, insertion or removal of an arm from the garment requires the patient to expose their entire upper torso as the garment must be untied from the patient's backside. Simple medical procedures, such as placing EKG electrodes, require near total garment removal.
- What is needed in the industry is a garment that can be easily attached to an individual with minimal arm movement, provide ease of access to portions of the patient's body by health care professionals, and prevent patient embarrassment.
- Disclosed is a medical gown in the style of a cape or kimono, which may be constructed of either reusable fabric or disposable paper material. In one embodiment, the gown has a centrally located neck opening with two front panels and a rear panel, all of which are horizontally attached at the shoulders on either side of the neck opening. Once draped over the shoulders of the patient, the shoulder portions form open arm holes that have no barrier under the armpit, which may allow the health care professional to insert or attach medical devices or equipment without the patient having to remove his or her arm from the gown. At least one panel wraps around the front of the individual, allowing movement of the shoulder portions. The panel extends can be attached to either the left or right side of the gown and partially wrap, in the manner of a robe, using tie straps, snaps, or hook & loop fasteners to provide closure around the waist of the patient.
- An objective of the invention is to provide a medical gown in the form of a shirt top, where either side of a patient's torso can be accessed for limiting exposure of the patient's body for certain examinations or procedures, and minimize arm movement which is critical post surgical procedures.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a medical gown which protects the privacy of, and prevents embarrassment to, a patient having to undergo medical treatment or procedures where portions of the body may be exposed during treatment, while also providing ease of access to portions of a patient's body by health care professionals for certain examinations or procedures.
- Another objective of the invention is to eliminate the need to disconnect a patient's IV line, central lines, or arterial lines during attaching or removal of a medical gown, decreasing the likelihood of infection and thereby potentially decreasing the length of hospital stay.
- Still another objective of the invention is to provide a gown with multi-purpose pockets, such as holding of drip containers, drains or the like.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a medical gown for a patient which has a section attached to the inner rear panel which may be placed between the patient's legs from the rear and raised up to the patient's waist area and attached by tie straps, hook & loop (Velcro), or snaps around the waist, in the manner of a pair of faux shorts that cover the patient, providing less embarrassment and retaining the dignity of the patient.
- Another objective is to provide an embodiment wherein a rear portion of a pair of faux shorts may be attached to the back panel with the front panel attached at one side panel and the other side unattached in order to wrap around the front waist/upper leg portion of the patient and be attached on the other side by use of Velcro or snap type fastening straps.
- A further objective of the invention is to provide a medical gown for female patients in the form of a jumper type dress having two front panels and a rear panel, all attached horizontally at the shoulders, which, when draped over the shoulders forms an open neck hole having a wrap-around skirt attached to the rear panel and, when wrapped around the waist of the patient, is secured by Velcro or snaps. Once the skirt is attached, the front panels may be inserted or tucked into the front section of the skirt or attached by Velcro or snaps.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a medical gown for infants having a back panel with an attached bottom diaper flap, wherein the front panels are folded over the shoulders of the infant and secured to the back panel by use of Velcro fasteners on the diaper flap or snaps.
- Other objectives and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with any accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention. Any drawings contained herein constitute a part of this specification, include exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
