A Practical, High Fashion Update to the Traditional Hospital Gown
The hospital gown is the one object that follows the patient to every single part of the hospital experience. It hasn't been touched in over 100 years since its v1, which is why I designed Gown 2.0.

The hospital is a notoriously disease-centric organization, focusing on the ailments of the patients and not the patients themselves. The Gown 2.0 is designed to inject some humanness into this system. Blending high fashion with hospital functionality, this new hospital gown aims to be the new standard at hospitals. It uses a blend of antibacterial lyocell and polyester to make a product that is symmetrical so as to be used front and back. This allows mobile patients to dress themselves while making it easy for caretakers to dress their patient.

Gowns open from the back because they are easier to remove when the patient is in the lying or seated position. Log-rolling a patient to remove a gown, especially in an emergency, is not practical.

Wouldn't metallic snaps be a problem with x-ray and MRI machines?
