Definitions

  • aspects of the present disclosure are directed to garments useful in a medical setting, particularly in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) setting, and methods of making and use thereof.
  • NICU Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
  • Garments for use in medical settings have various unique requirements, such as the ability to provide sufficient access to a wearer’s body (e.g., by a medical practitioner) and/or compatibility with medical devices, such as intravenous (IV) therapy lines, gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes), and/or respirators.
  • IV intravenous
  • G-tubes gastrostomy tubes
  • respirators such as intravenous
  • Garments worn by patients in the NICU are especially unique due to the physical capabilities of such patients.
  • NICU garments must provide easy access to a wearer without aid from the wearer and/or with minimal disruption to the wearer. There remains an unmet need in the art for garments that meet these requirements.
  • aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a garment wearable by a baby, particularly a baby in a NICU or other medical setting.
  • An example garment according to aspects of the present disclosure may be configured to provide acceptable access to the wearer while requiring minimal disruption to the wearer and minimal aid from the wearer.
  • the garment may comprise a front body portion, a back body portion, two sleeve portions, two leg portions, and a neck opening. At least one of the sleeve portions may comprise an arm access portion. Alternatively or additionally, the front and/or back body portion may comprise a body access portion.
  • FIG. 1 A shows an example front view of a garment according to aspects of the present disclosure.

  • body access portion 17 is in a non-bisecting arrangement in relation to front body portion 12 of garment 1 1 , since point 110 terminates at one leg 14b, rather than between the two legs 14a, 14b. It should be understood that while the second end 110 is provided on leg portion 14b in the example garment shown in FIG.
  • the second end 110 may alternatively be provided on leg portion 14a, essentially providing about a mirror-image of body access portion 17A shown in FIG. 1A.

  • body access portion 17 may abut a leg access portion 11 1 , which may span from the second end 110 of body access portion 17 to an opposite leg access portion end 1 12 that terminates at an edge of leg portion 14a. It should be understood, however, that if the second end 1 10 of body access portion 17 is provided at the edge of leg portion 14a, the leg access portion end 112 would be provided at the edge of leg portion 14b.
  • leg access portion 11 1 may allow access to a wearer’s body below his or her trunk.
  • the leg access portion end 1 12 may comprise a selectively connectable leg connection point, as shown in FIG. 1A. Similar to body access portion 17, leg access portion 1 11 may comprise one or more selectively connectable leg connection points along its length, such that leg access portion 11 1 may be selectively placed in an open, closed, or partially open position, as described herein.
  • body access portion 17 and/or leg access portion 11 1 may be configured to provide acceptable access to a wearer.
  • acceptable access may comprise complete or about complete access to the trunk and/or legs of a wearer.

  • the chest of a wearer may be accessed with minimal changing and/or disruption to the wearer.
  • the chest of a wearer may be accessed with little to no disruption to, for example, the navel of the wearer and/or a G-tube if such is inserted into the abdomen of a wearer.
  • FIG. 1 C shows garment 11 of FIG. 1A wherein body access portion 17 is in a partially open position, and leg access portion 1 11 is in a closed position.
