Abstract
A front-opening hospital gown includes first and second front panels. The first front panel overlaps the second front panel when the gown is worn by a patient. The second front panel has fasteners in multiple columns and rows. The first front panel has mating fasteners, for instance a single column of multiple rows. The number of rows on the front panels may be equal. An additional rear panel(s) defines an elongated slot on the back of the gown for access to the patient's back. The gown may include an anti-microbial coating, colored fabric that indicates the size of the gown, an RFID tag, color-coded intravenous access flaps, and a telemetry pocket. The intravenous access flaps may have color-coded fasteners or backing twill material. The gown may include a collar indicating the front of the gown. The collar may have a contrasting color relative to a color of the panels.
