ABSTRACT:
A novel garment package and a novel method of forming a sterile garment package to facilitate donning of a garment by a wearer is disclosed in the present invention. The method of forming the garment package may be used to fold a sleeve, a shoe cover, a hood, a coverall or other like garments. The method is performed by laying the garment on a surface in a flattened condition with the exterior surface of the garment exposed; cuffing a portion of the garment around the opening to expose a portion of the interior surface of the garment while leaving a portion of the exterior surface of said garment exposed; and, at least one time, folding the cuffed portion of the garment over onto the exposed portion of the exterior surface. Thereafter, the cuffed and folded may be placed in a bag and the bag is sealed. To don the garment, the wearer solely grasps and handles the garment by the exposed interior surface and prevents the garment from contacting the floor. This deters contact of the garment with contaminants which may be on the wearer's skin, clothes or on the floor.
