FIG. 1 is a front view showing the medical gown 1 before wearing in a state where the medical gown 1 is unfolded. In FIG. 1, the medical gown 1 is drawn with the outer surface opposite to the inner surface in contact with the wearer of the medical gown 1 facing forward. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the front side of the medical gown 1 in a state worn by the wearer. FIG. 3 is a rear view showing the back side of the medical gown 1 in a state worn by the wearer.

  The medical gown 1 is a gown of a closed type that closes left and right parts on the rear side of the wearer. The medical gown 1 includes a front portion 2, a back portion 3, and a pair of sleeve portions 4. The front part 2 covers the front surface of the wearer. The back part 3 covers a wearer's back. The pair of sleeve portions 4 are cylindrical portions connected to both sides in the left-right direction of the front surface portion 2 and the back surface portion 3. The wearer's arms are inserted into the pair of sleeve portions 4. Each sleeve part 4 covers the site | part from a shoulder part to a wrist among a wearer's arms. The tip of the sleeve 4 has elasticity at least in the circumferential direction, and is in close contact with the wrist of the wearer. The medical person wears the medical gown 1 and then wears the medical gloves 6 and the medical mask 7. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the medical mask 7 is not connected to the medical gown 1, but the medical mask 7 may be continuous from the throat portion of the medical gown 1.

  The front part 2 is a continuous sheet-like part. The front part 2 covers the wearer's throat (that is, the region between the neck and the chest), the chest, the abdomen, the front of the waist, and the front of both legs. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the front surface portion 2 is formed from the wearer's throat, the entire chest region, the abdominal region, the lumbar front surface, and the front surface of both legs from the base of the leg below the knee. Cover all parts.

  The back surface portion 3 includes an inner back surface portion 31 and an outer back surface portion 32. The inner back surface portion 31 extends from the one side of the front surface portion 2 in the left-right direction to the back surface of the wearer and covers the back surface of the wearer. The outer back surface portion 32 extends from the other side of the front surface portion 2 in the left-right direction to the back surface of the wearer. In other words, the outer back surface portion 32 is connected to the side opposite to the side to which the inner back surface portion 31 is connected among the left and right end portions of the front surface portion 2. The outer back surface portion 32 overlaps the inner back surface portion 31 on the rear side of the inner back surface portion 31 and covers the back surface of the wearer. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the inner back surface portion 31 is connected to the front surface portion 2 on the wearer's left side (right side in FIG. 1), and the outer back surface portion 32 is connected to the front surface portion 2 on the wearer's right side.

  The back surface portion 3 covers the back of the wearer (that is, the back), the back of the waist (including the buttocks), and the back of both legs. Specifically, the back surface portion 3 covers substantially the entire back portion of the wearer, the substantially entire back surface of the waist, and the portion of the back surface of both legs that extends from the base of the leg to below the knee.

  As shown with parallel oblique lines in FIGS. 1 to 3, the medical gown 1 further includes an absorbent member 5. The absorbent member 5 is fixed to the inner surface of the medical gown 1 (that is, the skin surface in contact with the wearer) at the upper end portion of the front surface portion 2 and the upper end portion of the back surface portion 3 of the medical gown 1. The absorbent member 5 is fixed to the medical gown 1 with, for example, an adhesive. The upper end portions of the front surface portion 2 and the back surface portion 3 are the end portions located on the upper side when worn by the wearer, of the front surface portion 2 and the back surface portion 3, and the end closer to the wearer's head. Part.

  The absorbing member 5 is provided across the entire width in the left-right direction at the upper end portion of the back surface portion 3. The absorbing member 5 is provided over the entire width in the left-right direction at the upper end of the front surface portion 2. In other words, the absorbing member 5 extends from the upper end portion of the back surface portion 3 to the inner surface of the upper end portion of the front surface portion 2 and is provided over the entire circumference around the wearer's neck. Around the wearer's neck, the upper end edge of the absorbent member 5 is located slightly below the upper end edges of the front surface portion 2 and the back surface portion 3.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the length in the vertical direction of the portion of the absorbent member 5 that overlaps with the back surface portion 3 (hereinafter referred to as “back surface absorbent portion 51”) is the front surface portion 2 of the absorbent member 5. Is longer than the length in the vertical direction of a portion overlapping with (hereinafter referred to as “front-surface absorbing portion 52”). Therefore, the lower end edge of the back surface absorbing portion 51 is located below the lower end edge of the front surface absorbing portion 52. In other words, the lower end edge of the back surface absorption part 51 is farther in the vertical direction from the wearer's head than the lower end edge of the front surface absorption part 52. It is preferable that the length of the front absorption part 52 in the vertical direction is 2 cm or more and 20 cm or less. It is preferable that the vertical length of the back absorption part 51 is 2 cm or more and 40 cm or less.

  FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the back absorption part 51 of the absorption member 5. The longitudinal cross section of the front absorption part 52 is also substantially the same as FIG. The absorbent member 5 includes a plurality of nonwoven fabric layers 53 and a superabsorbent material 54. The superabsorbent material 54 is a granular superabsorbent material (SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer)) or a fibrous superabsorbent material (SAF (Super Absorbent Fiber)). The granular or fibrous superabsorbent material 54 is fixed between the plurality of nonwoven fabric layers 53.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, two nonwoven fabric layers 53 having substantially the same shape are stacked, and a granular superabsorbent material 54 is fixed between the two nonwoven fabric layers 53. In FIG. 4, the superabsorbent material 54 is drawn larger than the actual size. The two nonwoven fabric layers 53 are joined to each other over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral edge. The joining of the nonwoven fabric layers 53 is performed by, for example, an adhesive or thermocompression bonding. The superabsorbent material 54 is fixed to the nonwoven fabric layer 53 through an adhesive, for example. In a state where the wearer wears the medical gown 1, the two nonwoven fabric layers 53 overlap in the front-rear direction.

  The nonwoven fabric layer 53 is formed of a liquid permeable nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric layer 53 preferably has high air permeability. The nonwoven fabric layer 53 is, for example, a nonwoven fabric (point bond nonwoven fabric, air-through nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric, etc.) formed of hydrophobic fibers (polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyamide, nylon, etc.) whose surface is hydrophilically treated with a surfactant. It is formed by. In addition, the nonwoven fabric layer 53 may be formed with the nonwoven fabric (for example, spunlace nonwoven fabric) formed with hydrophilic fibers, such as a cellulose, rayon, and cotton.

  The absorbent member 5 contacts the wearer and absorbs sweat from the wearer. Specifically, sweat from the wearer is captured by the nonwoven layer 53 facing the wearer and sent to the layer of superabsorbent material 54. The layer of the superabsorbent material 54 absorbs sweat permeated through the nonwoven fabric layer 53 and swells, thereby fixing the sweat inside the absorbent member 5 and holding it. Thereby, the sweat absorbed by the absorbing member 5 is suppressed from flowing out of the absorbing member 5 to the outside.

  As described above, the medical gown 1 includes the front surface portion 2, the back surface portion 3, the pair of sleeve portions 4, and the absorbing member 5. The front part 2 covers the front surface of the wearer. The back part 3 covers a wearer's back. The pair of sleeve portions 4 are connected to both sides of the front surface portion 2 and the back surface portion 3 in the left-right direction. The wearer's arms are inserted into the pair of sleeve portions 4. The absorbing member 5 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper end portion of the back surface portion 3. Thereby, sweat of a wearer's back can be absorbed by absorption member 5. As a result, the wearer's sweat can be prevented from flowing along the back, and the wearer's discomfort due to the sweat flowing through the back can be suppressed.

  As described above, the absorbing member 5 is provided over the entire width of the upper end portion of the back surface portion 3. Thereby, sweat can be absorbed by the absorbing member 5 in a wide range of the wearer's back. As a result, it is possible to further suppress the wearer's sweat from flowing along the back.

  Further, the absorbing member 5 extends to the inner surface of the upper end portion of the front surface portion 2 and is provided over the entire width of the upper end portion of the front surface portion 2. Thereby, it can prevent that the sweat from a wearer's neck and head flows in between medical gown 1 and a wearer. As a result, it is possible to suppress the wearer's sweat from flowing along the back and chest.

  As described above, the vertical length of the portion of the absorbing member 5 that overlaps with the back surface portion 3 (that is, the back surface absorbing portion 51) is equal to the portion of the absorbing member 5 that overlaps with the front surface portion 2 (that is, the front surface absorbing portion 52). ) Longer than the vertical length. Thereby, the amount of absorption of the absorbing member 5 can be increased on the back where there is a high possibility of sweating more than the chest. As a result, it is possible to suitably suppress the wearer's sweat from flowing along the back and chest.

  The absorbent member 5 includes a plurality of laminated nonwoven layers 53 and a granular or fibrous superabsorbent material 54. The superabsorbent material 54 is fixed between the plurality of nonwoven fabric layers 53. Thereby, the absorption member 5 can absorb sweat quickly from a wearer, and can hold | maintain a lot of sweat. Moreover, since the surface of the absorption member 5 is formed with a nonwoven fabric, the touch of the absorption member 5 can be improved.

  In the above-described medical gown 1, various modifications are possible.

  For example, the length in the vertical direction of the back surface absorbing portion 51 and the length in the vertical direction of the front surface absorbing portion 52 may be substantially the same. Alternatively, the length of the front absorbent portion 52 in the vertical direction may be longer than the length of the rear absorbent portion 51 in the vertical direction.

  The absorbing member 5 may be provided only in a part in the left-right direction at the upper end portion of the front surface portion 2. Further, the absorbing member 5 may be provided only on the back surface portion 3 without being provided on the front surface portion 2. The absorbing member 5 may be provided only in a part in the left-right direction at the upper end portion of the back surface portion 3.

  The structure of the absorbing member 5 may be variously changed. For example, the superabsorbent material 54 may be omitted from the absorbent member 5, and a laminate of a plurality of nonwoven fabric layers 53 may be used as the absorbent member 5.

  The aforementioned absorbent member 5 may be provided in a pre-closed type medical gown that closes the left and right parts on the front side of the wearer. The medical gown includes, for example, a continuous sheet-like back part and a front part extending from the left and right sides of the back part to the front of the wearer (that is, inner and front surfaces fixed to each other on the front of the wearer). Part and an outer front part), and a pair of sleeve parts connected to both sides in the left-right direction of the front part and the rear part. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the sweat of the wearer from flowing along the back by providing the absorbing member 5 fixed to the inner surface of the upper end portion of the back surface portion.

  The configurations in the above-described embodiments and modifications may be combined as appropriate as long as they do not contradict each other.
