  • Publication number: 20130007942
    Abstract: A one piece wrap around hospital garment to be worn by women during breast cancer radiation treatments. The garment is an alternative to standard issue hospital gowns. The garment is designed for comfort, security and style specifically for women undergoing radiation treatments for breast cancer. The garment opens in the back, but wraps around the body and is fully closed when worn. The back can be opened during medical treatment and the wrap around side panels allow for opening and closing with ease without any fasteners, extraneous ties, Velcro, buttons or snaps. The garment is made in one size, and can be adjusted for fit and comfort with the belt panels. This alternative garment, which is worn by women during radiation treatments for breast cancer, will provide women with a feminine, secure and comfortable alternative to the standard multi-purpose, ill-fitting, unflattering unisex hospital gown.
