The present hernia belt ostomy support system and method is designed to provide support to a hernia and house a medical device (e.g., an ostomy appliance) within a compartment, wherein the device is comfortable, supportive, inconspicuous, and aesthetically pleasing.

A user worn gastronomy tube retaining device for reducing inadvertent pulling of a gastronomy tube includes a first panel, which is resiliently flexible and removably securable around an abdomen of a user so that the first panel encircles the abdomen with an inner surface of the first panel in contact with the abdomen. A plurality of connectors is attached to an outer surface of the first panel, with each connector being selectively connectable to a gastronomy tube so that the gastronomy tube is attached to the first 10 panel. The connector thus retains the gastronomy tube in a substantially static position relative to the abdomen and resists a pulling force that might be inadvertently applied to the gastronomy tube.

Certain embodiments of the invention may include a garment adaptable for self-donning and for donning by another onto a wearer. The garment may include two longitudinal panels. Each longitudinal panel may be operatively attached to each other. Each panel may have a waistband portion, a hip portion and a leg portion. Each longitudinal panel may terminate with a first and second cooperating and fastening material that may be disposed substantially along the longitudinal hip and leg portions. Each panel may be moveable between a substantially flat open position and a second closed wearable position where each first and second cooperating and fastening materials of each panel may join the second closed wearable position. The cooperating and fastening material may include continuous strips of cooperating materials that may include mating components.

A garment for accommodating an ostomy pouch, the garment comprising a pocket for containing the ostomy pouch, the pocket having a first opening towards a user of the garment when the garment is worn for inserting the ostomy pouch therethrough and into the pocket. The garment also comprises two or more bands encircling the garment, for exerting a compressive force against the user when the garment is worn. Furthermore, a mid-line along a length of the pocket intersects a mid-line of at least one of the two or more bands.

A waste release garment that facilitates release of body waste by opening the junction between a front and rear panel at the lower edges of the underwear to expose a wearer's groin, buttock channel, and scrotum, so as to enable bladder and bowel relief without having to entirely disrobe the underwear, and also provides a front panel that externally stores a waste discharge tube emanating from inside the body. A front panel and a rear panel join at side edges to from an undergarment having a hip opening and a pair of leg receiving openings. A bottom edge for each panel comprises a plurality of fasteners that fasten and disengage to open for enabling relief of bowels and bladder. Front panel forms an aperture that enables passage of waste discharge tube portion. External end of waste discharge tube stores in an elongated pocket in front panel.

The pants has two zippers symmetrically arranged from a waistband's front center extend slantwise downward to a lateral side of the pants. A detachable wrapping member is integrated with the pants. The wrapping member has a belt whose two ends thread through corresponding loops at bottom corners of the wrapping member, and a bottom portion of the wrapping member is flipped upward to reliably cover a crotch area of a user, preventing excrement or urine from overflowing. A clamping member uses Velcro fastening elements or snap buttons to lock a planar object of an absorbent member, and the clamping member can provide secured positioning, increased friction, and load distribution so that the absorbent member can be reliably worn. The clamping member contains a clamping element that is concealed when not in use. The clamping element then can be flipped to further secure its locking the absorbent member.

A pant clothing item for uniped or bilateral amputee persons includes a modified distal opening of at least one pant leg with a cover portion, where upon fastening the cover portion to the modified distal opening, the cover portion encloses the distal opening of the pant leg and protects the residual limb from exposure.

A blanket wrap to be used by users, where the blanket wrap comprises of a blanket and a plurality of closures. The blanket wrap optionally comprises at least one cinch strap for providing extra stability to the blanket in the blanket wrap. The blanket has a cut on one side and the side having the cut is the bottom end of the blanket whereas the side opposite to this is the top end of the blanket. Further, the plurality of closures on the bottom end of the blanket is used to create a pair of leg wrap for the user legs using to provide them comfort in a cold weather.

A lower garment with a crotch opening is provided. A front cover is releasably attached to the front side of the lower garment and is sized to cover a front portion of the crotch opening. A rear cover is releasably attached to the rear side of the lower garment and is sized to cover a rear portion of the crotch opening. The front cover and the rear cover are removable from the lower garment independent of each other. Therefore, only a portion of the patient's body that needs to be exposed is exposed, while other portions are covered.

The present invention is clothing that is easily placed on or removed from a person's easing the maneuvering around medical devices or wounds. The apparel looks like traditional clothing but it is functional clothing adaptable to medical treatment and medical apparatuses and is intended to be an alternative to traditional clothing for those who are immobile or disabled.
