Why Do They Open in the Back?


They are not a fashion statement by any means, they come in one size and...they open in the back!

Is there a reason for this or is it a big design flaw?

According to medical professionals, having a gown that opens in the back makes it a lot easier to examine patients and administer treatment. Regular sleep clothing and robes can become a hindrance in the efficiency of the clinical staff.

Injections are much easier to administer and it is much easier to listen to the heart and lungs.

Another big factor for the hind side opening is for the ease of care in an emergency. With the opening in the back, if there is an emergency, removal is easier and the gown does not have to be cut off.

The good news is there are new designs being worked on that will be efficient and private.

For the time being, at MMHD the quality of your care and your privacy are very important to us and we promise you we will make that our top priority.
