After a surgical procedure involving post-operative drains as part of recovery, a child or adolescent wears the garment and inserts the reservoir of a post-operative drain into one of the post-operative drain compartments. The garment supports at least four post-operative drains. One of the post-operative drain compartments is disposed above another one of the post-operative drain compartments. Each of the openings post-operative drain compartments remains open and does not include any fastening mechanism.

Hospital gowns and methods of making hospital gowns are provided. For example, a hospital gown is provided that includes a front panel comprising an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface and a back panel comprising an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface. The front panel can be releasably securable to the back panel at different locations to create a gown with the interior surface of the front panel facing the interior surface of the back panel to form a releasable right shoulder portion, a releasable left shoulder portion, a releasable right side portion and releasable left side portion of the gown.

This invention provides a phototherapy garment for treating neonatal jaundice, the phototherapy garment comprising a first layer of a flexible soft-textured non-woven material, a second layer of a flexible stretchable substrate supporting light-emitting diode (LED) light sources and a thin flexible third layer with heat transfer capability to provide dissipation of waste heat from the LEDs of the second layer.

This invention also provides a phototherapy garment for treating other medical conditions.

The invention relates to a garment (1) for a newborn (3) made from a film-like material, comprising a back portion (2) to be placed under the back, a leg portion (4) for placing under the legs and two wing elements (6, 8) for swathing a chest, arm and abdominal region of the newborn (3), wherein the leg portion (4) is arranged adjacent to the back portion (2) and the two wing elements (6, 8) are arranged adjacent to the back portion (2) on the arm side, wherein the leg portion (4) is designed together with a leg-cover portion (5) as a pouch element having an opening (10) facing the back portion (2) for inserting the legs of the newborn (3).

A pediatric position holder for holding a child in a position is provided. The pediatric position holder includes a central panel extending longitudinally from a cranial portion to a caudal portion, arm flaps extending outwardly from opposing sides of the central panel, and leg flaps extending outwardly from opposing sides of the central panel. The arm flaps each include a proximal arm segment and a distal arm segment extending from the proximal arm segment. The leg flaps each include a proximal leg segment that defines one cutout and a distal leg segment extending from the proximal leg segment. The pediatric restraint is configurable between an initial, open configuration and a second, closed configuration in which the distal arm segments of the arm flaps overlap one another, and the distal leg segment of each of the leg flaps is positioned within the cutout of the respective leg flap.

A garment for use with a medical device, the garment including a back panel having a central region, two back leg panel members projecting from the central region of the back panel, and, two arm panel members connected to the central region at a location distal to the two back leg panel members. The central region, the two leg panel members, and the two arm panel members are oriented so as to be coplanar when laid on a flat support surface. The two back leg panel members define inner edges proximate to a lower region of the central region of the back panel. The garment further includes two front panel members connected to the opposed sides of the central region defining a portion a lower crotch and each front panel member releasably connects with each back panel at a central slit that defines an access opening.

The premature infant clothing is a therapeutic garment. The premature infant clothing is configured for use with a patient. The patient is a low birthweight infant receiving medical therapy. The therapy further comprises medical tubing. The premature infant clothing comprises a plurality of panels and a plurality of detachable fasteners. The plurality of panels are interconnected using the plurality of detachable fasteners to form a plurality of garments. Each of the plurality of panels is a textile. The plurality of detachable fasteners removably attach one or more panels selected from the plurality of panels to form a garment selected from the plurality of garments. The plurality of detachable fasteners are adjustable such that any detachable fastener selected from the plurality of detachable fasteners can be reconfigured to accommodate the insertion of the medical tubing through the selected detachable fastener.

A securing pocket for managing the loose portion of a medical tube, such as a Nasogastric/Nasojejunal tube, while an implanted portion of the medical tube remains attached to the patient. The loose portion of the medical tube has a coiled section disposed within a receptacle formed between flexible front and rear panels. An integral flap overlaps the front panel to selectively close the receptacle and may be secured with a snap connector. Jam cleats are located along left and right edges adjacent a top edge of the receptacle. Each jam cleat forms a breach in the receptacle through which a tethered section of the loose medical tube extends. The jam cleats are configured to apply a progressive wedge force on the tethered section of the loose medical tube in response to tension along the tube. The jam cleat has flexible sides formed in a V-shape.

A pediatric position holder for holding a child in a position is provided. The pediatric position holder includes a central panel extending longitudinally from a cranial portion to a caudal portion, arm flaps extending outwardly from opposing sides of the central panel, and leg flaps extending outwardly from opposing sides of the central panel. The arm flaps each include a proximal arm segment and a distal arm segment extending from the proximal arm segment. The leg flaps each include a proximal leg segment that defines one cutout and a distal leg segment extending from the proximal leg segment. The pediatric restraint is configurable between an initial, open configuration and a second, closed configuration in which the distal arm segments of the arm flaps overlap one another, and the distal leg segment of each of the leg flaps is positioned within the cutout of the respective leg flap.

Braces for immobilizing clavicle fractures in infants may include a garment of fabric sized and shaped to extend around a torso and along at least one arm of an infant. The garment may include a first closure configured to secure the garment around the torso of the infant, a second closure configured to secure the garment over a shoulder corresponding to a fractured clavicle of the infant, and a sleeve configured to extend around an upper and lower arm of the infant on a same lateral side of the garment as the second closure. The sleeve may include at least a third closure configured to secure the sleeve around the upper and lower arm of the infant. A portion of the sleeve may be affixed to a portion of the garment, the portion of the garment to which the sleeve may be affixed being located over the torso of the infant when the garment is secured around the torso of the infant.
