ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a patient garment having a front side, a back side and two sleeve sections. The front side opens vertically down the center and is closed with releasable fasteners such as buttons or snaps, to allow for the patient to put on the garment. The garment has four triangular openings, arranged two on the front side and two on the back side, with one each on the right and left sides of the garment. The garment has a shoulder strap on each side that runs from the neck of the garment along the shoulder line of the garment and connects to a sleeve section. The shoulder strap forms the top edge of each of the triangular openings. Four triangular panels are attached to the garment to cover each of the triangular openings. Each triangular panel has a top side, a proximal side and a distal side. The top side of each panel is releasably secured to a shoulder strap. The distal side of each panel is releasably secured to the garment, and the proximal side of the panel is permanently secured to the garment, to create a flap-like structure. Releasing the top and distal sides of a panel allows a health care professional to have access to parts of a patient's body without requiring removal of the garment.
