- the sterile outer garment 206 as shown in FIG. 2A, includes a first portion 208 configured to cover gloves of the user 202, a second portion 210 configured to cover the arms of the user 202, and a third portion 212 configured to cover a front side of the user 202.
- the first portion 208, the second portion 210, and the third portion 212 can each be individual sections attached together.
- the sterile outer garment 206 can be formed by uniform segments and individual sections.
- a uniform segment can include the first portion 208 covering the gloves and the second portion 210 covering the arms.
- the second portion 210 of the uniform segment can then be attached to the third portion 212 via attachment means such as, for example, stitching, sewing, and the like.

- a uniform piece composed of the second portion 210 and the third portion 212 can be attached to the first portion 208 via attachment means such as, stitching, sewing, and the like.
- the first portion 208 configured to cover gloves of the user 202 can be of various different sizes.
- the various sizes are utilized to, for example, accommodate varying sizes of gloves, such as, but not limited to, sterile surgical gloves.
- the sterile outer garment 206 can fit loosely over the sterile primary garment 204, such as, but not limited to sterile surgical gowns.
- the sterile outer garment 206 can fit at varying tightness to accommodate comfort of the user 202.
- FIG. 2B illustrates a front view of the sterile outer garment 206 for protecting sterility of primary garments according to an alternate aspect of the present disclosure.

- FIG. 3 is a side view of the sterile outer garment 206 for protecting sterility of the primary garments 204 according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
- the sterile outer garment 206 covers only the hands, arms, and front side of the user 202. As such, the sterile outer garment 206 does not cover, or wrap around, the sides or back of the user 202. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the sterile outer garment 206 ensures a lack of contamination of a chest portion, sleeves, and gloves of the sterile primary garment 204, including, but not limited to, sterile surgical gloves, the chest portion and sleeves of a sterile surgical gown, or combinations thereof.
- the sterile primary garment 204 typically wraps around the sides and back of the user 202.
- the sterile outer garment 206 such as the sterile outer gown shown in FIG. 3, can be attached to a front portion of the sterile primary garment 204 via attachment means 214.
