Appl. No.:

16/321061

Inventors:

- Cincinnati OH, US
Kimberly A. Turner - Cincinnati OH, US

International Classification:

A41D 13/12

Abstract:

A personal protective equipment (PPE) rear opening isolation gown is provided that can be used by workers in the healthcare industry. The isolation gown is reusable and can provide for ease of doffing, such as in a pull forward manner that is consistent with how current users of disposable isolation gowns are accustomed to removing such gowns, without substantial risk of damaging (e.g., tearing) the gown and without substantial risk of the transfer of potentially harmful microorganisms, body fluids, and/or particulate material, to the neck or hair on the head or neck of a wearer. The reusable, rear opening isolation gown is provided with an easy release fastener(s) that provides a safe and secure hold when fastened but permits the gown to be removed easily, quickly, and more safely than other reusable options.

International Classification:

A41D 13/12

Abstract:

A personal protective equipment (PPE) isolation gown is provided that can be used by workers in the healthcare industry. The isolation gown has a front opening configuration and is further designed with fasteners that facilitate ease of adjustment and donning and removing without substantial risk of the transfer of potentially harmful microorganisms, particularly to the hair on the head or neck of a wearer, and also is relatively more efficient to manufacture, thereby providing a cost-effective alternative to various styles of currently available isolation gowns.
