Abstract
A heat insulating jacket/coat article for persons working in the non-sterile areas of operating theatres is made of a very thin sheet material of the type having a central carrier sheet of plastics, provided at one side with an extremely thin coating of a heat reflecting metallic material carrying a further coating of a moisture absorbing fibrous layer. The garment can be produced in but a single, large size without closure means, as the users may close the garment with pieces of adhesive tape (8) and also adapt the width of the garment by pleating the garment material and locking the pleats (10) with adhesive tape (12). Alternatively, the garment may be shape and size adjusted by simple cutting. A material well suited for the purpose is a carrier sheet of polyester or polyethylene coated with cellulose fibres. <IMAGE>
Description
A garment usable for persons working in operating theatres .
The present invention relates to garments for persons working in operating theatres. In those rooms the air temperature is relatively low and the air change high, whereby the involved persons tend to freeze during the work. In these surroundings, of course, the persons cannot wrap up in whatsoever, even when not working in the local, sterile operation area, and so far this has resulted in contenting with light clothes in which the persons are fully capable of working, but, however, freezes during the often long operations.
It is by the invention realized that it is possible to manufacture a warming garment in the shape of a jacket or a coat, designed in such a way and in such a material that from various relevant aspects it is fully acceptable for the use in question. A material is used which is already known in the said surroundings, namely for covering operation patients in full anaesthesia with the purpose of isolating them against a noticeable decrease of their body temperature during the operation.
The material is a thin laminate comprising a plastic sheet, in this instance preferably of polyester, which, at one side is provided with a vapour applied layer of aluminium, while on this layer there is glued a layer of a suitable moisture absorbing material, here preferably a web of cellulose fibres. The extremely thin layer of aluminium or a corresponding material acts as a reflector for the heat radiation of the body, thus providing for a real heat insulating effect, while the plastic sheet forms an airtight barrier between the body and the surrounding air flows in the strongly ventilated environment. The inner layer of the fibre web makes the material touch friendly and serves to absorb sweat from the covered person. -The metallic layer is kept electri cally insulated between the other layers.
From this material a jacket or coat can be sewn, appearing as a heat insulating garment of pronounced leightweight and thinwall character. It will be a natural requirement that the garment should be a low cost article, as it will be usable a limited number of times only, inasfar as it is not well suited to be washed. The material itself is rather inexpensive, and according to the invention it is possible to keep the product price low by arranging for a production of but a single or very few standard sizes only.Such a size, of course, will be relatively large and thus not suit smaller users, but these jackets/coats will not in any way have to be of any particular beauty, so it will be a highly relevant possibility that the single user effects a suitable adjustment of the width of the garment by folding together relevant area portions of the material and securing the foldings by means of simple, inner or preferably outer pieces of adhesive tape. Alternatively, the material can simply be cut with a scissors.
As a matter of fact, it has been found possible in this way to make out in a simple manner jackets or coats based on a single basic product size and yet suiting persons of any size. Each user may fold the sleeve ends backwardly or just cut the sleeves to achieve a suitable sleeve length and adjust circumference by making suitable pleats, which are stabilized by means of tape directly on the outside, where a good adhesion to the plastic layer of the material will be ensured.
For large persons the garment will be a working jacket, while for small persons it will turn out as a coat, which, in the manner described, can be adjusted to be as narrow as required or desired. If desired, just for some kind of decoration, the free edges of the garment may be provided with braids or stitchings. Closure means such as burr tapes could be provided, but are pre ferably totally avoided for low cost purposes; in practice, the jacket/coat garment may suitably be closed by means of adhesive tape, and for the same reason even the closing edges of the garment may be cut back. Preferably the garment is made with a collar portion that can be folded up along the back and sides of the neck; thus, the downfolded collar should have the fibre web layer facing outwardly.
The garment will be practically usable only in the non-sterile area, and it will be perfectly usable several times. It has been found by practical tests that a durability of some weeks of daily use can be expected, i.e. the users may advantageously carefully attend to the adaptation of the garment with the correct folds for obtaining a high degree of comfort. After some experiments, however, it will be easy for the single user to find or reproduce the adaptation to be used as a standard thereafter. In principle, nothing will prevent delivery of sterilized garments for use in the sterile area.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plane front view of a garment according to the invention,
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a tall person wearing the garment, and
Fig. 3 is a similar view of a small person wearing the garment.
The garment shown in Fig. 1 is made as simple as possible1 with a body portion 2, sleeve portions 4 and optionally a collar portion 6 of the material specified above. The garment appears with an outside resembling silver paper and a slightly soft inner side of a fibrous web, preferably of a green colour. The material is only slightly thicker than ordinary paper. The collar 6 appears with the soft side turned outwardly.
When worn by a large person as shown in Fig. 2 the garment will appear as a jacket, closed by tape pieces 8 only. It has been found that in practice it is sufficient to produce the garment in but one large size, as it will also be usable for small persons, see Fig. 3, though now appearing as a coat, unless the user cuts off the lower portion. The user may form pleats 10 in the material for adapting the width of the garment, and such pleats may be permanently secured by tape pieces 12.
Of course nothing will prevent a production of the garment in more than one size, but an associated saving of material will hardly justify the marketing and handling of more sizes.
The invention is not restricted to the use of the particular material specified above, when only the fabric is correspondingly thin and heat insulating. It is to be mentioned that the known material is based on polyethylene, while according to this invention it is found very advantageous to use a film of polyester, because the aluminium vaporized onto this material provides for a real mirror effect; on polyethylene and some other usable materials the metallic surface is dull, whereby the heat reflection is not as good as possible. An expected disadvantage of polyester would be that this material is liable to rustle, but it has been found that this rustling is widely avoided by the added layers of glue and cellulose fibres. For that sake, this material according to the invention will be very well usable for the said known purpose of covering the operation patients, ifl that case with the absorption layer at the cater or per side.
Also, the said special material is easy to cut.
Claims (4)
1. A heat insulating garment, particularly for persons working in operating theatres or similar locations with relatively low air temperature and high ventilation, characterized in being shaped as a simple jacket or coat of a thin laminated sheet material of the type comprising a carrier layer of plastics provided at one side with a very thin metallic, heat reflecting coating applied e.g. as vaporized aluminium, this coating carrying a layer of a thin, soft and moisture absorbing material, the garment preferably being made without any closing means, subject to being closed by means of adhesive tape, such tape being usable also for adjusting the width of the garment, viz. for permanently stabilizing size adjusting pleats therein, the garment being adaptable also by cutting.
2. A garment according to claim 1, characterized in being available in one large size only.
3. A material for heat insulating persons in operating theatres and similar locations, comprising a carrier sheet of plastics provided at one side with an extremely thin metallic coating carrying a layer of fibrous, absorbing material, characterized in that the carrier sheet is of polyester and the fibrous material is of cellulose fibres.
