Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hospital gown, and more specifically, to a hospital gown with a unique design that provides full access for all types of treatment for a patient, while providing full comfort and dignity to the patient.
  • Prior Art Traditionally, hospital gowns have a solid front and a single rear overlapping panel opening extending from the neck to the hem and with one or more ties to secure the rear flaps together. With such gowns, the patient puts on the gown in reverse and may require assistance in tying the rear ties.
  • the rear flaps also tend to fly open and do not necessarily provide ample coverage for maintaining a patient's dignity and comfort. Further, it is necessary for doctors to remove the gown substantially in order to perform necessary procedures and operations.
  • the present invention provides a hospital gown that is comfortable for the patient and that provides doctors with easy access to the chest areas of a patient's body that may require incision, placement or insertion of medical tubing and instruments, without the need of removing the hospital gown from the patient.
  • support flaps provide for a comfortable and secure connection to the gown and prevent extraction of the medical tubing and leads to the patient's body.
  • openings at the lower side regions of the gown allow for connections of catheters, medical tubing and other devices to the patient's body.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the hospital gown attached to an IN tower.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the support flap of the hospital gown.
  • Figure 4 is a back view of the hospital gown.
  • Figures 5A and 5B are front and back views of the hospital gown, respectively, which illustrate an embodiment of the present invention designed for easy closure of the gown.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the hospital gown 100, as it would appear on a person.
  • the hospital gown 100 comprises a front side 110, a back side 111 (not shown), with a left sleeve 113 and right sleeve 112.
  • the left sleeve 113 and right sleeve 112 may be sewn to the front side 110 and the back side 111, respectively, and extend from the neckline 115 of the hospital gown 100 to the underarm area 116.
  • the left sleeve 113 and right sleeve 112 may have metal snaps that hold the sleeves together along the top area of the sleeves, or have Nelcro straps or any other means known in the art to hold the sleeves together.
  • the front side 110 and back side 111 of the hospital gown 100 are long enough in a vertical direction to provide the necessary full coverage for a patient. The gown can come in different sizes to accommodate the wearer.
  • An access flap 120 having a top side 121, bottom side 122, right side
  • the access flap 120 can correspond to the neckline 115 of the hospital gown 100.
  • the access flap 120 is detachable along the seams of the left side 124, right side 123 and bottom side 122.
  • the access flap 120 can be detached either on the left side 124, right side 123 or the bottom side 122 individually, or the access flap 120 can be detached by a combination of the left side 124, right side 123 and the bottom side 122, as may be required for different medical procedures.
  • the access flap 120 may be connected to the hospital gown along the left side 124, right side 123, top side 121 or the bottom side 122 by Nelcro straps, buttons, zips, metal snaps, adhesives or any other means known in the art that provides a manner for attaching and detaching materials used to make hospital gowns from each other.
  • the access flap 120 provides access to the chest area of a patient without the need to remove the entire shirt or gown off the patient to perform the necessary medical procedures.
  • the hospital gown 100 may have opening inserts 160 for Foley tubes or other devices at the lower side regions of the hospital gown 100 as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the bottom of the hospital gown 100 may have double needle top stitching, that is bartacked at all stress points, providing for extra reinforcement to areas which are major stress areas on garments suspect to tearing. Further, the hospital gown 100 may have intravenous ("IN") support flaps 130 as shown in Fig. 1. The IV support flap 130 may be stitched to the hospital gown 100 by reinforced threading on the top and bottom of the IN support flap 130.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the hospital gown 100 when the patient is connected to an IN bag 201 supported by an IN tower 200.
  • the IV tower 200 holds the IV bag 201, which is connected to an IV tube 210, which is shown connecting to the chest of the patient through a port 220 to provide the contents of the IV bag 201 to the patient.
  • the IV support flap 130 on the hospital gown 100 supports the IV tube 210.
  • Figure 3 shows the preferred connection of the IV tube 210 to the IN support flap 130.
  • the IN tube 210 runs from the IN tower 200 to the port 220.
  • the IV tube 210 may be attached to the IV support flap 130 by the use of a safety pin 300 and medical tape 310, or some other known method.
  • the safety pin would run through the hospital gown and rest against the chest of the patient, causing discomfort to the patient.
  • the safety pin 300 connects to the support flap 130 so that the IV tube 210 connects to the outside of the hospital gown 100.
  • the medical tape 310 holds the safety pin to the IV support flap 130.
  • the IV tube 210 will remain connected to the port 220 at the patient's chest as it is attached to the IV support flap and not directly to the hospital gown 100.
  • the IV tube 210 runs from the port 220 in the patient's chest, to the IV support flap 130, to the IV tower 200.
  • Figure 4 shows the back side 111 of the hospital gown 100.
  • the back side 111 comprises a left side I l ia and right side 111b.
  • the back side 111 of the hospital gown 100 comprises back ties 400, which are preferably long back ties for easy closure and for sizing purposes.
  • the back ties 400 connect the left side 11 la to the right side 11 lb of the back side 111 of the hospital gown 100.
  • the back ties 400 are tied such that there is approximately only l ⁇ inch of space between the left side I l ia and right side 11 lb of the back side 111 of the hospital gown 100.
  • the back side 111 may be closed using other known means including, but not limited to, Velcro straps, metal snaps, buttons, zips or adhesives.
  • FIGs 5A and 5B An additional option for easy closure of the hospital gown in accordance with the present invention is shown in Figures 5A and 5B.
  • the feature depicted in these figures is a robe-like component that secures the back of the gown.
  • Figure 5 A shows the front side 110 of the hospital gown 100.
  • Figure 5B shows the back side 111 of the hospital gown 100.
  • the lower back tie 400 shown in Figure 4 has been eliminated and replaced by a long fabric strip 600 secured to the left side 111 a of the hospital gown 100. This fabric strip 600 connects to another long fabric strip 600a on the left front side 110 of the hospital gown 100.
  • These fabric strips 600, 600a are designed for easy closure in the front of the patient and for sizing purposes.
  • Such an embodiment as illustrated in Figures 5A and 5B prevents exposure of the patient's body, a common negative aspect of the traditional hospital gown design that utilizes hard-to-reach snaps that prevent easy closure.
  • the present invention provides several advantages that solve the problems with prior art inventions. It provides a hospital gown designed with an access flap so that medical procedures may be performed on a patient without the discomfort of removing the entire gown from the patient and causing discomfort for the patient. Further, the IV support flaps allow for the connection of IV tubes or other medical tubing or leads while limiting any discomfort to the patient, yet a secure, safe and efficient connection of the medical tubing can be provided to the patient.
  • the hospital gown of the present invention may be made of any conventional woven or non-woven fabric, paper or other convenient sheet-form material.
  • very light weight cotton may be utilized with a capability of undergoing washings with fairly high temperature water capable of sterilizing as well as cleaning.
  • the sleeves 112, 113 may have metal snaps 140, or may comprise Velcro straps.
  • the access flap 120 is attached to the hospital gown 100 through any means known in the art that provides a manner for attaching and detaching material that is used for hospital gowns from each other, such as but not limited to Velcro straps, buttons, zips, adhesives, etc.
  • the gown may come in any size from extra small sizes to extra, extra large sizes.

Abstract

Une chemise d'hôpital (100) est munie d'un rabat d'accès (120) dans la partie avant de la chemise d'hôpital, dans la zone de poitrine du patient. Le rabat d'accès (120) s'attache au vêtement d'hôpital et se détache de celui-ci de manière à assurer l'accès à la zone de poitrine du patient sans que celui-ci doive enlever la chemise d'hôpital. En outre, un rabat de support (130) est ménagé dans la partie avant de la chemise d'hôpital de manière à ce que le rabat de support (130) soutienne un tube médical entre le rabat de support (130) et la chemise d'hôpital (100), de manière à empêcher le tube médical de se détacher du corps du patient en cas d'accident. De même, des ouvertures (160) dans les parties inférieures latérales du vêtement permettent la connexion ou le branchement d'un autre tubage médical avec le corps du patient.
