ABSTRACT:
The gown assembly of the present invention is constructed to provide a patient wearing the gown with maximum comfort and also ease of insertion of various intravenous tubes for feeding and blood sampling without removal of the gown. Moreover, the gown is adapted to fit a variety of sizes and shapes of patients and has patient-restraining straps and bands integral with the gown. The gown preferably is of washeable cloth and may be disposable. The gown extends from about the level of the neck to at least about the level of the knees and opens at the back by means of a vertical opening extending the full length thereof and placed off the midline of the gown so that the fasteners for the gown will not rub the spinal column. The gown includes mittens attached to the ends of the sleeves and having elongated restraining bands which tie into bows. The sleeves have transverse openings extending from the inner margin thereof at the level of the elbow to about the outer margin thereof for insertion of intravenous tubes and for ease of bending the arms. The sleeves have full length closeable openings for insertion of intravenous tubes. The upper surfaces of the mittens can include closeable openings which extend at an angle from the inner to the outer margins thereof for insertion of intravenous tubes. The rear of the gown has a transverse reinforcing strip and an elongated cinching and restraining strap preferably releasably connected thereto.
