ABSTRACT:
A back opening gown is disclosed in which the wearer can achieve a sterile back without assistance. The gown comprises a body portion having a front and a back with the back having a first and second panel and wherein the first panel has a flap running lengthwise of the gown. Prior to closure, the flap is folded back over the first panel and preferably releasably secured thereto. After any initial securing of the gown has been completed, e.g., snapped at the neck, an assistant secures the free end of a first belt tie attached to the flap to the rearward end of a belt disposed in a protective belt cover or housing. The wearer then pulls on the forward end of said belt, thereby releasing the flap and covering the non-sterile portions of the back of the gown and pulling the first belt tie and the rearward end of the belt under the belt cover or housing. The forward end of the belt is then secured to a second belt tie on the front portion of the gown. In the manner described, a sterile back is achieved.
