A neuromuscular enhancement system comprising engineered textile structures is worn by a user to increase strength, preserve energy, and increase motion accuracy. The system can be used in surgery and interface with operating room technology, together providing the surgeon with the ability to perform surgery for longer hours and with increased accuracy. The enhancement system is a flexible structure, worn over the user's body, comprising engineered textile materials that apply forces to different areas of the user's body. The engineered materials can be activated in order to apply a force to a particular region of the body to assist in a desired user output. The engineered materials can be embedded with sensors to detect and monitor motion and other physical properties. The engineered materials can also be embedded with a communication system that conveys information between a computer system and the neuromuscular enhancement system and its various sensors and components. The enhancement system here can be configured for use in applications other than surgery.

The present disclosure discloses a cutting structure and a sewing process for back wearing protective clothing. An eye gap is formed in the top of a cap cutting piece. An upper neck interface is formed in the bottom of the cap cutting piece. Cap top seams which are in left-right symmetry are formed in the two sides of the eye gap. Cap openings are formed in the two sides of the lower part of the cap cutting piece. An upper right sleeve seam is formed in the upper end of one side of an upper section cutting piece. A lower right sleeve seam is formed in the lower end of one side of the upper section cutting piece. An upper left sleeve seam is formed in the upper end of the other side of the upper section cutting piece. A lower left sleeve seam is formed in the lower end of the other side of the upper section cutting piece.

A temporary outer garment includes a first portion configured to cover hands of a user, a second portion configured to cover arms of the user, and a third portion configured to cover a front side of the user. The first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are attached together to form the temporary outer garment. The temporary outer garment is configured to be worn over primary garments of the user to only cover hands, arms, and front portion of the user.

Trackable apparatuses and methods involving at least one arrangement of at least one trackable feature configured for disposition in relation to at least one substrate, each arrangement of the at least one arrangement having a distinct pattern of trackable features configured to facilitate determining at least one of: an identity of at least one object and at least one subject, a disposition of at least one object and at least one subject, a disposition between at least one object and at least one subject, and a disposition among at least one object and at least one subject, and each arrangement of the at least one arrangement configured to optimize tracking by a navigation tracking system, whereby at least one spatial relationship among the at least one object and the at least one subject is optimizable. The navigation tracking system is optionally multi-modal.

A garment has a main body part 20 having a pair of collar parts 10 and a waistline part 40 positioned below the collar parts 10, two swinging sleeve parts 30 coupled to the main body part 20 and an obi part 100 wound around the waistline part 40. One of the collar parts 10 is fixed to the other. The swinging sleeve part 30 has a plurality of swinging sleeve convex-concave parts 35 extending in a direction perpendicular to a direction from a root 30a to a sleeve opening 30b.

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.

A multi-piece surgical garment assembly which may include a head cover and a surgical gown that may be configured to be fastenable to one another wherein the surgical gown is contiguous across a circumference of the gown and covers substantially all of the body of the wearer. The head cover and gown may be fastened via at least one fastener and may be further fastened via a second fastener.

The present invention relates to method for manufacturing disposable upper body garments having sleeves and a front portion. The method comprises feeding a main film in a longitudinal direction and forming an assembly comprising a first sleeve film and a second sleeve film arranged on an upper surface of the main film. The method further comprises, for a first one of the garments, welding the first sleeve film to the main film along an outline defining the sleeves of said first one of the garments, and for a second one of the garments, welding the second sleeve film to the main film along an outline defining the sleeves of said second one of the garments. After the welding steps, the method comprises punching through the assembly to define a neck opening of the first one and the second one of the garments; and punching through the assembly along an outline of the first one and the second one of the garments.

A surgical gown folded in a unique pattern that provides for a smaller sized gown that can be packaged in a smaller sized outer wrap as well as provide for an easily donnable gown that maintains its sterility. The fold pattern provides for the interior surfaces of the gown to be visible, and preferably, a portion of the interior surfaces, while maintaining sterility of the exterior surfaces by keeping them inside of the gown. A method of folding the gown in this new pattern is provided herein as well as a method of donning the folded gown.

The present invention is related to a textile article developed to be used as a way to warm up healthcare professionals, said article being in the form of a jacket with pockets and removable sleeves. This jacket has the particularity of being functional not only in terms of warming up the user, but also for allowing to store small personal and/or professional objects and, simultaneously, fulfilling the requirements of asepsis and sterilization imposed to the healthcare professionals. Therefore, the present invention belongs to the area of protective clothing for professional use, particularly to be used by healthcare professionals, preferentially in a hospital setting.
