ABSTRACT:
A post-operative garment is provided for patients who have just been through lower abdominal, groin, or rectal operations such as Caesarean sections, hemorrhoidectomies, and hernia operations. The garment is somewhat diaper-like, having a soft, absorbent inner portion and an impermeable membrane on the outside. The garment passes through the crotch and expands laterally outwardly both front and rear, with the front and back being fastened to one another up above the abdominal region in the rib cage area. This eliminates the need for belts of the type that are used for sanitary napkins, which cut into the incision area, and also provides a greater degree of privacy for the patient as well as a greater degree of overall comfort.
