| Abstract: |
The present invention relates to clothing specifically designed for incapacitated or bedridden patients. The clothing includes trousers, shorts, a shirt and an undergarment each having separable seams allowing the garments to be easily removed from a patient with minimal movement or manipulation of the patient's body. Each garment has an integrated moisture detection means which will emit an audible alarm upon sensing a predetermined amount of moisture. The clothing also has a temperature detecting means, for instantaneously providing the patient's body temperature, removably attached thereto. Preferably, each garment is constructed with a fabric like material that has been pretreated with an antibacterial, an anti-fugal or an antiviral agent in order to minimize bed sores, skin rashes and other skin irritations.
