| Abstract: |
The hospital gown has a top made of four pieces - two pieces for the right side (front and rear) and two pieces for the left side (front and rear). The two pieces are identical for the left side and the other two pieces are identical for the right side. The top of the gown has upward flaring body lines on each side of the neck cut-out, as in a butterfly wing. The sleeves are actually openings in the outer upper edges which extend about two-thirds the way down to the bottom of the top. The shoulders of a patient extend outwardly of the neck cut-out about one-fourth to one-third of the way to the outer edges such that the outer portions drop to form modesty sleeves which have no bottoms but open inwardly of the top to allow IV solution containers to pass therethrough without disconnecting the sterile connection to the patient. The bottom is a wrap-around panel. The back and front of the top include full length hook and loop fasteners, and the slide around panel bottom includes hook and loop fasteners plus a drawstring.

What is claimed is:
1. A patient gown top enabling access for diagnosis including testing, treatment and care, comprising:
- a left side having a front left side and an identical back left side with a left neck cut-out, said front and back left sides being joined together along a first shoulder seam which extends upward from a top of the left neck cut-out to a left side outer edge so that the left side resembles a butterfly wing;
- a left arm opening defined by said front and back left sides and extending from said first shoulder seam downward approximately two-thirds a length along said left side outer edge;
- a left outer edge seam extending from a bottom of said arm opening to a bottom of the left side;
- a first fastener secured to the front and back left sides on the outsides thereof at respective locations spaced inwardly of a left side vertical inner edge, said inner edge extending from a bottom of the left neck cut-out to the bottom of the left side;
- a right side having a front right side and back right side with a right neck cut-out, said front and back right sides being joined together along a second shoulder seam which extends upward from a top of the right neck cut-out to a right side outer edge so that the right side resembles a butterfly wing;
- a right arm opening defined by said front and back right sides and extending from said second shoulder seam downward approximately two-thirds a length along said right side outer edge;
- a right outer edge seam extending from a bottom of said arm opening to a bottom of the right side; and
- a second fastener secured to the front and back right sides on the insides thereof at respective locations along a vertical right side inner edge, which extends from a bottom of the right neck cut-out to the bottom of the right side;
- said right side overlapping said left side with said second fasteners engaging said first fasteners to secure said right side and said left side, the shoulders of a patient engaging an inside of said shoulder seams at spaced locations from said neck cut-outs, thereby draping an outer portion of each shoulder seam downward along the patient's arms to form a simulated sleeve with an open axilla.
