DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a surgical gown worn by a surgeon or assistant.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Surgical gowns are intended to form a barrier between a surgeon or caregiver worn by a patient and a patient to prevent the invasion of bacteria. For this reason, a shape that opens on the dorsal side is generally used without making a brilliance or a seam on the chest side portion in contact with the patient. In addition, in order to require a high degree of tension and sometimes not to hinder long-time surgical operations, a moderate fit and a comfortable space are required. In addition, such gowns are required to perform strict hygiene control, and are made of non-woven fabric with water repellency in order to prevent invasion of bacteria, sterilized, folded, packaged in a sealed state, and disposable . Various considerations have also been given to the folding method and the wearing method so that bacteria are not contaminated during the wearing operation.

An example of such a surgical gown is shown in FIG.

The surgical gown (50) has a front body (5).
1) and the left and right half of the back body following both sides of the front body (52a)
(52b) and a main body (53) formed of a single piece of cloth,
Raglan sleeves (54) are sewn on oblique sleeve attachment lines (55) extending from the neck of the main body (53) to the sides. Such a raglan sleeve (54) has a feature that the arm is easier to move than a tubular sleeve switched around the base of the arm because the part covering the shoulder and the arm is integrated. In order to close the main body (53) on the back side, face tapes (56a) and (56b) are attached to the left and right back collars, and the inside of the rear half of the left half (52b) and the back side of the right side line Strips (57a) (57b), right half of back body (52
a) and the outer strips (58a) (58)
b) is attached.

[0005] Such surgical gowns are sterilized, folded, and sealed one by one.
As described above, consideration is also given to how to fold the gown so that the gown is not contaminated by bacteria during the wearing operation. For example, in the folding method of the gown described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-19602, the back end is opened to the left and right, respectively, folded along the length direction of the gown, and from the collar side to the hem side. The fold and the valley fold are alternately repeated in parallel with the width direction of the gown, and folded in a fan shape. Both sleeves are inserted into the hem side of the folded body. Further, the body is folded so that the back side of the body is exposed to the outside. By folding in this manner, the body is sequentially expanded and expanded at the same time as inserting the arm through the opening, without having to expand the folded body by hand.

[0006]

However, the conventional surgical gown has various problems or points to be improved as follows.

[0007] The first problem is comfort when worn. As mentioned above, surgical gowns need to be moderately loose and fit so as not to interfere with tasks that require a high degree of tension. The use of raglan sleeves makes the armholes larger and easier to move the arms than the sleeves, but there is still room for improvement as a cloth plane covers the three-dimensional body.

[0008] The second problem is how to fold during sterile packaging. In the folding method described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-19602, the body is folded in a fan shape. Therefore, even if the folded body is not spread by hand, if the arm is inserted from the opening, the front is folded. It will be developed sequentially. However, in this folding method, the sleeve is folded between the body at the part near the hem, and the movement of passing the arm through the sleeve and the development of the body progress simultaneously, so the gown touches the unsterile container and the bacteria Care must be taken both on the sleeves and on the body to avoid contamination. If you pay attention to such things when preparing before surgery, you will lose the tension and concentration you have for surgery.

[0009] A third problem is a sewing method for forming a high bacterial barrier. Although the nonwoven fabric used as the material is subjected to a water-repellent treatment and has an excellent effect of preventing the invasion of bacteria,
Bacteria may enter through the joint between the body, the sleeve and the body, or through the needle hole. That is, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), by simply superimposing the two cloths of the main body (53) and the sleeve (54) and performing the ground stitching, when the seam (60) is subjected to a force, the seam allowance (53a) is obtained. ) (54a) is cracked to form a gap at the joint, and there is a possibility that bacteria may enter through the gap. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 15 (B), an overlock sewing machine is used to perform overlock stitching together with ground stitching so that the seam allowances (53a) and (54a) are not broken. However, even when overlocking, the seam allowance (53a)
Since (54a) is not completely adhered, if a force is applied to the seam (61), the seam tends to open, and it is impossible to completely prevent the invasion of bacteria.

[0010] The fourth problem is the method of wearing. As described above, the surgical gown must be opened and closed on the back side because of the necessity of forming a bacterial barrier with the patient. However, in the current gown, the string must be tied at or near the center of the back, and it is difficult to tie the string by turning the arm backwards.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a surgical gown that can form a complete germ barrier between a wearer and a patient, is comfortable to wear, and has a simple wearing operation. .

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, a surgical gown according to the present invention has a front body (11) and a right back half (12a) on both sides of the front body (11). The body (1) in which the rear half (12b) is integrally formed
3) and raglan sleeves (14) and (14) sewn on sleeve attachment lines (15) and (16) extending obliquely from the neck of the main body (13) to the side. 13) A pair of strips (25a) (25b) attached around the waist
The left and right back body halves (12a) (12
b) A surgical gown which is closed and worn, folded and enclosed in a packaging bag, and a mark (3) indicating the position and direction of inserting left and right arms on the back surface of the front body (11).
0a) and (30b), and the switching position (15a) on the neckline of the front sleeve attaching line (15) in the front body (11) of the raglan sleeve (14) is the rear body left and right half (12).
a) The main body portion (13) is shifted closer to the center line (P) than the switching position (16a) on the neckline of the rear sleeve attaching line (16) in (12b), and the left and right side lines (26a) (26)
b) Fold it to the outside front, fold both sleeves (14) and (14) to the width of the body and place it on the front body (11), and attach the ends of the left and right half (12a) and (12b) of the gown to the outside of the gown. Each of the marks (30a) and (30b) is exposed by being folded outward in a substantially half width along the length direction to expose the marks (30a) and (30b).
3) The valley fold and the mountain fold are alternately repeated along the width direction of the body, folded in a fan shape, overlapped on the sleeves (14) and (14), and further marked along the length direction with the marks (30a) and (3).
0b) is characterized by being folded in a direction to show.

The front and rear sleeve attachment lines (15) and (16)
, The main body (13) and the sleeve (14) are folded down and overlapped so that the seam allowances (11a) and (14b) are engaged with each other, and two stitches (2
0) and (20), these (13) (1)
4) is preferably sewn.

Further, it is preferable that at least one of the pair of strips (25a) is attached to the front body (11).

[0015]

1 to 13 show a preferred embodiment of a surgical gown (1) according to the present invention. This surgical gown (1) is obtained by cutting a nonwoven fabric having water repellency, which is generally used as a disposable gown material of this type, into a required shape, and sewing it.

As shown in FIG. 1, the surgical gown (1) comprises a body in which a front body (11), a right half (12a) of a back body and a left half (12b) of a back body are made of one piece of cloth. Sleeves (14) and (14) are sewn to the part (13). Also, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.

The main body (13) is cut diagonally from the neck to the left and right sides of the front body (11) and the right and left half portions (12a) and (12b) of the back body. A rear sleeve attachment line (16) is formed.
On the other hand, the sleeve (14) is a single piece of cloth in which a front sleeve sewn on the front body (11) and a rear sleeve sewn on the back body (12a) (12b) continue under the sleeve, The front and rear sleeve attachment lines (1
5) While being sewn to the main body (13) in (16), the sleeve mountain line (17) extending from the neckline to the cuff through the shoulder line
And a raglan sleeve that substantially covers the shoulders and arms of the wearer. In addition, elastic knitted fabric (18) on the cuffs
Is sewn to fit the wrist.

As shown in FIG. 4, the front sleeve attaching line (1
5) and the rear sleeve attaching line (16) have different inclination angles.
Switching position (15) on the collar around the front sleeve attachment line (15)
a) is closer to the center line (P) side of the main body portion (13) than the switching position (16a) on the neckline of the rear sleeve attaching line (16), and the front sleeve attaching line (15) is the center line. (P) is formed at a gentle angle. Therefore, the dimension between the left and right sleeve attachment lines (15), (15), (16) and (16) is wider in the back body (12a) and (12b) than in the front body (11). As the width of the arm becomes wider, the armhole, which is the opening through which the arm passes, also becomes larger.
By providing such a front-back difference, not only does the armhole have room, but also the shape of the human body with the arm protruding forward, and the operation of extending the arm forward and using the hand becomes easier.

The sleeve attachment line (1
5) (16) is obtained by, for example, draping. Three-dimensional cutting is a method of directly cutting a human body with a cloth for a two-dimensional drawing based on the dimensions obtained by measuring, and more accurately expressing the three-dimensional shape of the human body from the plane of the cloth. be able to. The raglan sleeve of the conventional surgical gown (50) shown in FIG. 14 was formed by plane cutting, and the sleeve attachment lines were formed at the same angle in the front and back. In plane cutting, even if a large amount of slack is taken, such as by increasing the sleeve width, if the slack is not suitable for a three-dimensional object, it will simply become loose and not necessarily a shape that is easy to move. In the present invention, as a result of adopting the draping, there is a front-back difference in the angle of the sleeve attachment line, and there is a proper space in a proper position, and it is easy to move by fitting to a three-dimensional human body, particularly a shape of a shoulder to an arm. It has become something.

Further, sleeve connecting lines (15) and (16) for joining the main body (13) and the sleeve (14), and the sleeve (14).
The sleeve mountain line (17) that joins the front sleeve and the rear sleeve to form a cylindrical shape is sewn by double stitching as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the front body (11) and the sleeve (1)
4) illustrates the sewing at the front sleeve attaching line (15) where the front sleeve attaching line (4) is joined. This sewing method uses the mutual seam allowance (11
a) (14b) is folded down so as to engage,
Two stitches (20) at a predetermined interval in this overlapping portion
(20), the sleeve (14) is sewn to the front body (11), and the seam allowances (11a) and (14a) are held down so as not to rise. The rear sleeve attachment line (16) and the sleeve sleeve line (17) are sewn in the same manner. In such a sewing method, the seam is sewn into the inside and the cloth is sewn in an overlapping state, so there is no gap even if force is applied to the joint, preventing the invasion of bacteria. can do. In addition, although a needle hole is generated, since the cloth is quadrupled at the overlapping portion, FIG.
The barrier effect is much larger than the simple overlap sewing shown in (B). Further, the finer the perforation of the stitch (20), the greater the barrier effect.

As shown in FIG. 2, the surgical gown (1) has a right back half (12a) and a back half (1).
2b) so as to be closed on top of it.

In order to close the surgical gown (1),
In the neckline, a female side fastener (21a) is provided on the front side of the left half (12b) of the back body, and the right half (12b) of the back body.
a) A male side fastener (21b) is sewn to the back side, and a piping (22) around the neck extends on the right half (12a) side of the back body to form a string (23a), and a left half of the left half is formed. A string (23b) is separately sewn on the neckline piping (22). Further, around the waist, two pairs of strips are sewn. The inner strips (24a) (24b) are sewn to the right back side of the main body (13) and to the end of the left half (12b) of the back body. Also, the outer strips (25a) (25
b) is sewn to a position closer to the front than the left side on the front side of the front body (11) and to the end of the right half (12a) of the rear body. These two pairs of strips are formed of different colored cloths in each pair.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, on the back surface near the neck of the front body (11) of the surgical gown (1), the position and the direction of passing the arm in the following folded state are shown. , Hand marks in the shape of the left and right palms (3
0a) and (30b) are stamped.

The surgical gown (1) is sterilized, folded in the following order as shown in FIGS. 7 to 13, and enclosed in a packaging bag.

As shown in FIG. 7, the outer strip (25
a) Place the tip of (25b) on the front body (12) with the holder (27) sandwiched.

As shown in FIG. 8, the main body (13) is folded to the outside front with left and right side lines (26a) and (26b), and the left and right sleeves (14) and (14) are folded to the width of the body to form a front body. Place it around (11).

As shown in FIG. 9, the ends of the left and right half portions (12a) and (12b) of the back body are directed outward along the length direction of the gown, respectively, at the end of the sleeve sleeve line (17) on the side of the neckline (22). The body is folded back at a certain neck point (17a) (17b), and the left and right half portions (12a) (12b) of the back body are folded substantially in half. By folding in this way, the front body (1
1) Hand mark (30a) (30)
b) is in an exposed state.

As shown in FIG. 10, the main body (13)
Is repeatedly folded several times along the width direction of the body and folded in a fan shape, and placed on the folded sleeves (14) and (14). Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the protruding portion (28) of the shoulder is folded so as to be placed on the main body (13) folded in a fan shape, and the whole is arranged in a horizontally long rectangle. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the sleeve (14) and the main body (13) are placed on the front body (11) side and folded so that the hand marks (26a) and (26b) are exposed.

As shown in FIG. 12, folding is performed from left and right to the center by the quadrants (Q1) and (Q2) so that the surface on which the hand marks (26a) and (26b) are printed faces outward. Furthermore, the sheet is folded in half at the center line (Q3) to be folded in four. In this folded state shown in FIG.
On one surface, the back surface of the front body (11) on which the left hand mark (26b) is printed and the back surface of the left half (12b) of the back body can be seen, and the right hand mark (26a) on the other surface.
The back surface of the front body (11) and the back surface of the right half (12a) of the back body are visible. FIG. 13 shows a surface on which the right hand mark (30a) can be seen. And it is enclosed in the packaging bag in such a folded state.

The surgical gown (1) is worn in the following order.

First, the surgical gown (1) taken out of the packaging bag is picked up in the direction in which the hand marks (30a) (30b) are viewed from the front (the state of FIG. 12), and the shoulder of the gown and the folded sleeve are taken. have. Then, the main body (13) folded in a fan shape expands forward and expands. Next, in accordance with the instructions of the left and right hand marks (30a) and (30b), the left and right half (12)
a) Put a hand between (12b) and sleeves (14) (14)
Put your arms through your hands and put your shoulders. As described above, since the main body (13) and the sleeve (14) are separately developed in the order of the main body (13) and the sleeve (14), care must be taken not to touch unsterilized objects. Only need to be directed to the part that is being deployed, and the increased tension and concentration for surgery is not compromised. Then, in the neckline, the assistant closes the hook-and-loop fasteners (21a) and (21b) in accordance with the neck circumference of the wearer, and furthermore, the string (23a).
(23b). In addition, around the waist, after the assistant ties the inner strips (24a) and (24b) together,
The right half (12a) of the back body is superimposed on the left half (12b) of the back body, and the assistant takes the outer strip (25a) from the holder (27).
(25b) is removed and handed to the wearer, and the wearer himself connects these (25a) and (25b). At this time, one of the outer strips (25a) is located at a position closer to the front than the left side, so that it is possible to tie the body simply by twisting the body slightly without turning the hand backward, and the knot is It is near the left side (FIGS. 2 and 3). The inner strips (24a) (24b)
And the outer strips (25a) and (25b) are formed of cloths of different colors, so that when worn, the inner strips (24a)
Even if the outer strips (25a) and (25b) are removed from the holder before tying the (24b), there is no danger that the combinations of the strips will be confused.

[0032]

As described above, the surgical gown according to the present invention has a switching position (1) on the collar around the front sleeve attaching line (15).
5a) is the switching position (16a) of the rear sleeve attachment line (16)
Because it is closer to the center line (P) side, it conforms to the shape of the human body with the arms protruding forward, and the arm hole becomes larger,
Easy movement of shoulders and arms. In addition, when worn, the main body (13) and then the sleeves (14) are deployed in this order from the folded state, so that the attention can be spread without dispersing. In addition, since the marks (30a) and (30b) indicating the positions and directions in which the left and right arms are inserted are exposed in the folded state, the positions where the arms are inserted are clear, and the deployment direction is not mistaken. Therefore, it can be worn without disturbing the tension and concentration that have been raised for the operation.

The main body (13) and the sleeve (14)
When the seam allowances (11a) and (14a) are folded over and sewn by two stitches (20) and (20), a gap is not formed even if a force is applied to the seam, and Since the cloth (11), the sleeve (14) and the seam allowances (11a) and (14a), which are a total of four, overlap, the barrier effect against the invasion of bacteria is extremely high.

When closing the right half (12a) of the back body and the left half (12b) of the back body, at least one of the waist strips (25a) is attached to the front body (11). Therefore, it is tied to the other strip (25b) around the chest or side, so that it can be tied more easily than the conventional one tied at the back, and the wearing operation is easier.
