Hospital gowns to leave you less exposed

It’s about time someone is thinking about taking the “I see you” out of ICU.


New designer hospital wear (on the right) should save patients from the embarrassment of undignified backless gowns (on the left).

Hospital gowns maybe functional, but they aren't exactly glamorous. They are meant to give easy access to important body parts but walking down hospital corridors with your backside hanging out doesn't exactly boost confidence.

We suspect this will not be a fast evolving transition so don’t look for changes at a hospital near you anytime soon.
