Abstract: A reversible, back opening surgical gown, capable of enclosing the wearer from neck to mid calf exposes a "surigically clean" or "sterile" exterior surface. The gown, because of its symmetry, is capable of exposing either of its fabric surfaces as its exterior sterile surface when enveloping the body of a wearer. As such, it avoids the necessity of reversing the gown, as in a laundry, after use, to expose a usable exterior surface, required by conventional asymmetric gowns.
