This specification generally discloses a garment for blocking intrusion of dirt, water, and/or other pathogens on a person's body, such as to protect wounds on the body following a surgical or medical procedure. The garment can include a first opening sized and shaped to fit around the person's neck, wherein the first opening further comprises a collar with accordion style ridges, second and third openings sized and shaped to fit around a portion of the person's arms, wherein the second and third openings further comprise elastic material, and a fourth opening to be fitted around a portion of the person's torso, wherein the fourth opening further comprises elastic material.

A disposable protective garment for positioning over a wearer's head is provided for use in airplanes, busses, trains, other mass transit and other single-use applications. The disposable protective garment includes a hood formed of tubular blown film that has an at least partly closed top that rests on a wearer's head and an open bottom that rests on a wearer's shoulders. A mask can be integrated into the hood by forming a plurality of apertures in the hood and placing a polymer fabric that acts as a filter over the plurality of apertures. The hood may alternatively be combined with a crown or air filter material positioned over its top; a tubular filter equipped with an electric fan that draws air from above, filters it and directs the clean air downward across the wearer's face; and/or headgear. A barrier film suitable for use in the protective garment as well as other barrier applications is also provided.

A disposable isolation gown including a body covering layer comprising a first portion, a second portion, a first sleeve and a second sleeve. The disposable isolation gown includes a head insertion aperture defined by the body covering layer, wherein the head insertion aperture is disposed between the first portion and the second portion, and adjacent to the first sleeve and the second sleeve. The disposable isolation gown includes a perforation extending vertically along the second portion of the body covering layer.

The material for the antibacterial glove would have fibers such as polyester, cotton, silk, wool, or other similar materials, or biodegradable substances such as renewable wood sources, to form an interlocking matrix of loops, or such other means as would create a product that would absorb and maintain the antibacterial solution on it. The fabric/material is intended to not disintegrate when the antibacterial solution is applied to it. Four examples of antibacterial solutions are listed in the Detailed Description of Invention above. These examples are not intended to be exclusive options for possible canitizing formulas.

The first glove option uses the fabric capable of absorbing the antibacterial solution on both sides of the glove/mitten, ie. for the entire glove/mitten.

The second glove option uses as a base for the glove the materials used in disposable gloves such as ones made from vinyl, nitrile, latex, or polyethylene. The antibacterial-absorbing fabric is attached only to the palm side of the disposable glove. The third glove option uses wax/parchment, or any similar type paper, for the top side of the glove/mitten. The antibacterial-absorbing fabric is attached only to the palm side of the glove/mitten.

The aspect that is new in this invention is the application of the antibacterial solution in an absorbent and non-disintegrating fabric as the component of an entire glove/mitten (Option 1); applied to the palm side of a vinyl, nitrile, latex, or polyethylene type glove/mitten (Option 2); or applied to the palm side of a glove with wax/parchment type paper used for the top side of the glove/mitten (Option 3).

The gloves/mittens can be packaged with the antibacterial solution pre-applied to the gloves/mittens. The gloves/mittens can also come with a separate container with the sanitizing solution, so that the gloves/mittens may be packaged in the “dry” form. The user would then have the option of applying the antibacterial solution (or additional solution) to the glove/mitten at any time.

A nested glove assembly that includes a first glove that includes a front, a back, a thumb side, a pinky side, a first cuff and a plurality of finger portions that cooperate to define a first glove interior, and a second glove that includes a front, a back, a thumb side, a pinky side, and a second cuff and a plurality of finger portions that cooperate to define a second glove interior. A first tab extends from the first cuff and the second glove is positioned in the first glove interior.

A disposable glove and system are provided that has features and characteristic that enable a cuff opening of the glove to more easily open, thereby assisting in donning the glove. The disposable glove system includes stacked glove configurations for mounting and storage. The disposable glove system also includes features that make the disposable gloves easier to dispense from a dispenser with minimal user contact with the outer surface of the disposable gloves.

A donning system allows a user to don disposable garments without contaminating the exterior of the garment. The disposable garment is part of a garment package, which also includes a cuff by which the garment is loaded into and dispensed from the donning system. The cuff includes elements whereby multiple garments are simultaneously loaded, but the garments are dispensed and donned one at a time. The donning system can include multiple cartridges allowing the user to don multiple garments simultaneously, such as right and left gloves or shoe covers. The donning system can include multiple chambers allowing the system to dispense garments of different sizes.

A gown is disclosed with an opening in the back extending from the neck area to the bottom creating 2 panels. At least one elastic/flexible/stretchable strap is provided in the neck area of the gown. Each flexible strap has one end attached to each of the 2 panels of the open gown. The gown is designed for the first panel to extend over the second panel and can be weighted to minimize any movement of the first panel away from the second panel. In another embodiment a portion of the first panel extends to the user's side or front area and secured to the side or front of the gown.

To configure a pad so as to be gentle to the skin, to prevent stretching and/or tearing of the front surface sheet, and to not reduce liquid permeability and air permeability. [Solution] An underarm sweat pad in which an absorbent is interposed between a front surface sheet and a back surface sheet and which is used folded in two at a folding line and attached to the inside of the axillary portion of a garment. The front surface sheet is composed of a hydrophilic cellulose fiber. Adhesive regions, in which an adhesive for bonding the front surface sheet to the absorbent is applied, are formed as stripes that are parallel to the folding line and are spaced at intervals in the direction that is orthogonal to the folding line.

Disclosed herein is a disposable surgical gown. The disposable surgical gown includes a gown body having a pair of opposing sleeves, with each sleeve including a cuff at a distal end and two or more finger sleeves proximal the cuff at a first distance from the cuff. The two or more finger sleeves can extend from a lateral side of each sleeve.
