  • Neck-protecting garment for surgeons and operating room personnel
    Patent number: 5651140
    Abstract: A blood-repellent neck protector for hospital, surgical, and emergency room personnel is featured. The protector is shaped like a narrow-banded, circular collar having an extended bib. The collar has a blood-shielding, light-weight, multi-layered cloth. The outer layer of the multi-layered cloth is a soft, blood-repellent material. The innermost layer of material wicks moisture away from the wearer's neck. A spongy layer in the center of the collar provides softness and comfort to the wearer. This spongy layer also assists in maintaining the shape of the collar. The collar is adjustable to many different neck sizes from between 13 and 19 inches, approximately.
