Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a continuation, and claims the benefit, of co-pending application Ser. No. 12/220,599 filed Jul. 25, 2008 entitled “Isolation Garment and Foot Ware”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Clothing and foot ware that is impervious (or semi-impervious) to fluids in a health care setting are known, and are mainly used to protect employees that work in high risk areas of healthcare facilities (i.e. hospitals, emergency rooms, surgery) to protect against contact of blood, saliva, etc, with the skin of the worker. However, in areas that have a lesser risk of bodily fluid contamination, such as rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes and private nursing, the isolation gowns worn to protect health care workers from varying problematic situations still allow a portion of the liquids/fluids to penetrate through the fabric, thus exposing the workers and patients to cross-contamination and transmission risks (MRSA, etc). Additionally, these isolation gowns are not configured to protect the employees clothing and footwear from becoming wet while giving showers to patients (whether the patient is in a shower stretcher, shower chair, or even getting washed in bed).
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An isolation gown for covering a body of a wearer is provided, wherein the isolation gown includes a body cover portion, where the body cover portion is configured as a gown to cover the body of the wearer between an area proximate a neck area of the wearer and an ankle area of the wearer, wherein the body cover portion is open near the ankle area of the wearer. The isolation gown includes two sleeve portions each having an arm opening, wherein each of the two sleeve portions is configured to terminate proximate a wearers hand, such that each arm of the wearer up to an area proximate a hand portion of the wearer is covered by one of the two sleeve portions, wherein each of the arm opening includes an elastic portion to resiliently contact the arm, and a back opening having a tie portion, wherein the tie portion is configured to allow the isolation gown to be secured to the wearer, wherein each of the body cover portion and the two sleeve portions are constructed from a material impervious to liquids, where the liquids includes at least one of water and bodily fluids.
  • An isolation foot ware for covering a shoe of a wearer is provide, wherein the isolation foot ware includes a show cover portion, where the shoe cover portion is configured to cover an ankle portion and the shoe of the wearer, wherein the shoe cover portion includes a leg opening and a heel opening, wherein when worn by a wearer the heel opening is configured to keep the heel portion exposed and the leg opening is configured to elastically interact with a leg portion of the wearer, wherein the shoe cover portion is constructed from a material impervious to liquids, where the liquids includes at least one of water and bodily fluids.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The foregoing and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like elements are numbered alike:
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of an isolation gown, in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a back view of the isolation gown of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a side view of isolation foot ware, in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a front view of a person wearing the isolation gown of FIG. 1 and the isolation foot ware of FIG. 3, in accordance with the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • As disclosed herein with regards to an exemplary embodiment, an isolation gown 100 and isolation foot ware 200 is described. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, isolation gown 100 is shown and is a multifunctional gown that can be easily worn by health care workers, such as RN's and CNA's, to provide isolation from liquids and bodily fluids from patients during non-surgical hygienic procedures. As can be seen, isolation gown 100 is configured to cover the majority of the wearer's body down to an area which is proximate to the foot portion of the wearer. The isolation gown 100 includes an open back portion 102 having a tie portion 104 to allow the isolation gown 100 to be secured and to accommodate wearers of different sizes. The sleeves of the isolation gown 100 are configured to cover the majority of the arms of the wearer such that gloves can cover the portion of the wearers arm not covered by the isolation gown 100.
  • Isolation gown 100 is made of material that provides isolation from fluids, such as quality impervious materials provided by Du Pont and other manufacturers. Accordingly, the material used to construct isolation gown 100 may be flame resistant, waterproof, blood stain resistant, and proofed for accumulation of moisture. Isolation gown 100 includes several openings 102 that have elastic boarders for providing a secure fit to areas of the wearer to prevent or minimize intrusion of fluids while allowing for a full range of movement. Additionally, the isolation garment 100 also includes thumbhooks or hand anchors 106 to prevent the sleeves from retracting away from the hand portion of the wearer, where the anchors 106 wrap around the respective hand of the wearer to cross the palm of the hand. Furthermore, the isolation gown 100 includes highly protective gathers on the garment that helps to further prevent the medical staff from becoming wet while giving showers while having a full range of movement. This will restore the confidence of the staff to proceed with giving their patients showers without having to perform the rest of their daily functions in wet clothing.
  • Furthermore, the isolation gown may be conveniently located and stored in individually wrapped packages for ease of use and the binding of this extraordinary fabric assists with common tasks such as dressing/undressing open wounds and uncontrollable bladders, while providing the isolation to prevent cross contamination. In accordance with the present invention, the isolation garment 100 may be constructed from several pieces of quality impervious materials or isolation garment 100 may be constructed from one piece of quality impervious material and may include gathers that are located in key areas throughout the garment to keep the key areas close to the body of the wearer, such as under the arms.
  • Also provided is an isolation foot ware 200, as shown in FIG. 3, wherein the isolation footware 200 is a multifunctional shoe cover which isolates a wearer's shoes from liquids and bodily fluids. Accordingly, similarly to the isolation gown 100, the material used to construct isolation foot ware 200 may also be flame resistant, waterproof, blood stain resistant, and proofed for accumulation of moisture, where the isolation foot ware 200 may be made of quality material provided by Du Pont or other manufacturer. As shown in FIG. 4, the isolation foot ware 200 may be configured to cover a wearer's shoe and a portion of the wearer's leg and may include a leg opening 202 and a heel opening 204 to leave the heal of the wearer's shoe exposed for traction purposes. The heel opening 204 and the leg opening 202 of the isolation foot wear 200 may include elastic boarders to provide a seal from intrusion of liquids and bodily fluids. As such, a wearer simply slips their foot into the leg opening 202 until the isolation foot ware 200 covers the wearer's shoe such that the heel of the wearer's shoe is exposed via the heel opening 204. The elastic portion of the isolation foot ware 200 is then securely contacting the leg of the wearer and the heel of the wearer's shoe. Accordingly, the heel portion 202 of isolation foot ware 200 provides effective protection from slips and falls and allows for free range of movement. Moreover, the isolation foot ware 200 may be configured as one size fits all shoe sizes.
