The present invention relates to a wearable device particularly adapted for use with an individual connected to a medical device by tubing or a cord, which allows the wearer to move freely, but prevents the tubing from disconnecting from the person or the medical device via a securing attachment that restricts the movement of the wearable device's wearer to a distance shorter than the length of the tubing connecting the wearer to the medical device. The wearable device may also contain containment members to secure excess lengths of tubing. The wearable device can allow access to the wearer's body without removing the wearable device from the wearer.

A medical gown for facilitating access to a patient's torso includes a garment shaped to be worn over the patient's torso. An aperture extends through the garment and is positioned to access a port into the patient's body. The aperture is closeable via fasteners such that a gap is left to accommodate a medical tube that is attached to the port. Indicia are included on portions of the garment on opposing sides of the aperture. The indicia serve an ornamental purpose and also facilitate the identification of the location of the aperture. The garment preserves its undisturbed ornamental appearance through careful orientation of the gap.

A medical access garment includes a unitary front panel having a first plurality of fasteners arrayed along a left edge and a right edge; a unitary back panel having a second plurality of fasteners mated to the first plurality of fasteners along a left edge and a right edge; and an elastic member joining the unitary front panel to the unitary back panel. The unitary front panel and the unitary back panel when in a fastened position form openings for a patient's torso and extremities.

An adaptive clothing assembly for facilitating access to the legs and crotch of a user with medical issues or mobility restrictions includes a pair of pants having a waist portion coupled to a first leg portion and a second leg portion. A crotch area is positioned between the first leg portion and the second leg portion. An inseam extends across the crotch area and downwardly along each of the first leg portion and the second leg portion. An inseam closure is coextensive with the inseam. The inseam closure is openable to define a continuous break designed to expose both legs and a crotch of the user.

A protective hood for surgical use, apt to be worn, in sterile form, by an operator over an instrumented helmet, is provided. The hood includes a front vision lens and an enveloping main body fixed to the vision lens, configured to cover wholly the operator's head and neck and an upper part of the chest. The enveloping main body has a front portion and a rear portion connected and made integral by means of two opposite side portions, wherein the rear portion has a pair of lateral strings arranged on opposite sides with respect to a sagittal plane of the operator and which extend, in use, laterally outside, which strings are grasped by the operator during wearing in order to ease unwinding the hood.

A medical gown (100) configured for controlled doffing away from a user is disclosed herein. The medical gown may include a neck opening (150) and a tear guide (160) extending downwardly from the neck opening along a rear side (104) of the medical gown. 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.

A medical access garment includes a unitary front panel having a first plurality of fasteners arrayed along a left edge and a right edge; a unitary back panel having a second plurality of fasteners mated to the first plurality of fasteners along a left edge and a right edge; and an elastic member joining the unitary front panel to the unitary back panel. The unitary front panel and the unitary back panel when in a fastened position form openings for a patient's torso and extremities.

A rear-opening protective gown configured for removal by pull-forward doffing action is provided. The gown includes a central gown body including a front panel and a back panel. The gown opens at the back panel. A plurality of fastening elements is positioned on or proximate to the back panel. At least one of the fastening elements is located at the shoulder region. For each of the fastening elements that is located at the shoulder region, one of the first and second fasteners is mounted on a folded tab connected to the corresponding portion of the back panel. When a doffing force is applied to the gown, the folded tab rotates to transfer a shearing force into a peeling force thereby facilitating ease of doffing the gown without causing damage to the gown, thereby allowing for reuse. A method of wearing a rear-opening protective gown is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to an isolation gown. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an isolation gown, comprising a garment body including opening running a length of the garment body and terminating at a neck opening, the garment body having a first side and a second side and being configured to permit a wearer to don the medical gown, sleeves extending distally from the garment body, and one or more restraining mechanisms configured to secure the garment body, the sleeves, or a combination thereof, to a body of the wearer, wherein the one or more restraining mechanisms including an actuatable portion utilizing friction to allow the neck opening of the garment body to be contracted to a size of a neck of the wearer, and expanded to be larger than a shoulder width of the wearer.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a hospital gown designed for breast and abdominal examinations. In an illustrative example, the gown includes a first aperture and a second aperture conforming to the breast region. The first aperture may, for example, circumscribe a patient's left breast area, while the second aperture may, for example, circumscribe a patient's right breast area. The gown includes a first flap and a second flap. The first flap may, for example, be releasably coupled to the first aperture by at least one releasable coupler such as snaps or buttons, and the second flap may, for example, be releasably coupled to the second aperture by at least one releasable coupler. Various embodiments may advantageously be configured for selective exposure during examinations, enhancing patient comfort while providing necessary access for medical procedures.
