A kind of pants has a U-shaped opening across an adjacent edge of two connecting leg portions, a pair of front suspenders arranged at a front of the pants as each suspender connecting to a front passage, a pair or rear suspenders arranged at a rear of the pants as each suspender connecting to a rear passage, a water proof anti-splash cover partially sewn on the pants and covering a front end of the U-shaped opening, a displaceable covering piece arranged under the U-shaped opening with a pair of bands passing through the front passages to be fixed on the front suspenders and with a pair of strips passing through the rear passages and a pair of guiding rings to be fixed on the rear suspenders. Thereby the displaceable covering piece allows those who have to sit on a wheelchair most of the time to perform excretion right on the wheelchair with their pants on.

A medical garment and components thereof are provided. The medical garment includes a top portion including a front portion, a back portion, a neck portion, and two sleeve portions, wherein the front portion is bifurcated from the neck portion to a bottom of the front portions, and wherein each of the two sleeve portions are bifurcated from the neck portion to a sleeve portion opening. The medical garment further includes a bottom portion including a waist portion, a left leg portion, and a right leg portion, wherein the left leg portion and the right leg portion are bifurcated from the waist portion to a groin portion of the lower portion, and wherein the left leg portion and the right leg portion are each bifurcated from the groin portion to a lower end of each of the left leg portion and right leg portion.

A garment for health care use is disclosed. The garment comprises at least one rear panel, at least two front panels and a plurality of releasable seams, positioned along peripheral regions of said at least one rear panel and said at least two front panels for releasably connecting said at least two front panels to said at least one rear panel. Each of the at least two front panels is permanently connected to the at least one rear panel at least one position. At least a portion of one the front panels overlaps the other. The rear and front panels each comprise a plurality of flaps or regions which can be folded over when in use as worn by a wearer, to expose different areas of said wearer's body.

An upper body garment has a first access seam spanning a first sleeve of the garment on an underside from a cuff to an arm pit and spanning a body of the garment from the arm pit to a lower hem. The first access seam can be secured by magnets or other fasteners located intermittently along the sleeve and body which are easily opened for access to treatment areas. Furthermore, when the magnets are opened, the first access seam opens completely on one side of a patient body to peel away over IV needles and other connections for removal using a neck opening and a second sleeve. When the garment (or a new garment) is put back on by the patient through the neck and second sleeve, the first sleeve can be re-secured over connections to the body by rejoining opposing magnets.

A novel incontinence pant device that is a specialized pair of pants, allowing caregivers to remove soiled pants more easily from a patient in a single piece is disclosed. The incontinence pant device comprises a body component with two leg components.

The tear guide may extend between the neck opening and a nearest lower edge (144) of the rear side of the medical gown. The nearest lower edge may comprise an upper end of a flap opening of the rear side of the medical gown. The flap opening (140) may be defined between first and second flaps of the rear side of the medical gown. The tear guide may comprise a heat weld defined in the rear side of the medical gown.

An adaptive clothing apparatus designed for assisting persons with impaired mobility and/or impaired cognitive function includes a plurality of panels for covering the wearer's torso. The intuitive apparatus includes a front panel having attached thereto a wrapping panel, being a posterior torso encapsulator (PTE) panel, and a receiving panel. The PTE panel is equipped with dual fastening systems, being a side torso fastening system positioned in a lower section of the PTE panel and a shoulder fastening system positioned in an upper section of the PTE panel. The asymmetrical design of the apparatus allows the side torso fastening system to be positioned along the side of the user's torso forward of the user's axilla, such that the apparatus can be secured around a wearer by a care provider without difficulty, and without causing injury to the wearer, whether the wearer is in a standing, sitting, or lying position.
