Abstract: A disposable pant product has a first waistband bonded to a second waistband at first and second side seams. Each waistband has elastic threads between first and second web layers and bonds bonding the first and second web layers together. An absorbent core is provided between the waistbands. Each side seam has a plurality of discrete bonds which bond the first and second waistbands together. Some of the discrete bonds also anchor the elastic threads in position relative to the web layers. A system for manufacturing the pant product and method of forming same are provided.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing multi-piece closed-back isolation garments and well as a related apparatus therefor involving the placement of a cover strip segment on the backside of the garments. According to the method, a continuous torso web is cut into discrete torso web pieces. The discrete torso web pieces are adhered to a continuous shoulder web to join the discrete torso web pieces to the continuous shoulder web. A continuous cover strip segment is applied to the discrete torso web pieces and the continuous shoulder web using one or more adhesive strips to couple the discrete torso web pieces to the continuous shoulder web to form a continuous isolation garment web. The continuous shoulder web of the continuous isolation garment web is cut to provide discrete ones of the multi-piece closed-back isolation garments.

Abstract: An apparatus for executing a method of manufacturing multi-piece open-back isolation garments (10) includes machinery for creating discrete torso web pieces (12) from a continuous torso web (14), combining the discrete torso pieces with a continuous shoulder web having neck openings (37) therein, and cutting the combined torso and shoulder web structure to form the isolation garments. The isolation garments may be used as protection from potentially hazardous or unclean materials in a variety of different environments.

Abstract: An apparatus for executing a method of manufacturing multi-piece closed-back isolation garments (410) includes machinery for creating discrete torso web pieces (412) from a continuous torso web, combining the discrete torso pieces with a continuous shoulder web (414) having neck openings (444) therein, and cutting the combined torso and shoulder web structure to form the isolation garments. The isolation garments may be used as protection from potentially hazardous or unclean materials in a variety of different environments.

Abstract: A medical gown (100) and method of donning are disclosed herein. The medical gown may comprise a top portion (110), a bottom portion (112), a first tie (134), a second tie (136), and a cover patch (120). The top portion may include arms (140) and a neck opening (152). The bottom portion may include a front bottom side (128), a first rear flap (130), a second rear flap (132), and the first tie integrally formed with the first rear flap. The first and second rear flaps may extend from opposite edges of the front bottom side. The cover patch may be configured to at least partially couple the top portion and the bottom portion together. The second tie may be coupled between the cover patch and the bottom portion. The medical gown may provide easy donning and doffing as well as be optimally configured for manufacturing using automation.
