Modular medical apparel for use by patients during medical care and treatment

Abstract

A concern for medical patients and caregivers is suitable apparel that provides comfort, dignity, easy dressing and access to the body without unnecessary body exposure. Critically ill patients' fragile skin is easily damaged when handled and patients recovering from broken limbs or surgery experience the need for easier ways to dress and accommodate medical devises and treatment. Modular medical apparel provides slip-on and snap-seam construction of shirts and pants to meet treatment needs and pulling overhead or up the body is avoided. Plastic snap closures enable the patient to wear the apparel during routine examinations, x-rays, chemo therapy, MRI and other treatments, eliminating change of clothing and body exposure. The apparel is adaptable to amputees and has the appearance of sportswear. Optional features include, but are not limited to, removable sleeves, flexible seam closures, moisture control, antimicrobial, stain resistant, flame retardant, and Velcro, stainless steel or plastic fasteners.
