Multipurpose medical clothing, such as a gown or robe, that safely accommodates medical appliances attached to a patient, affords privacy, and thus encourages the patient to be up and ambulatory. The illustrated gown embodiment includes rectangular front and back panels open at the sides, belting, inside and outside pockets, and inside and outside hangers. The panels are of equal width greater than average human shoulder width to provide sleeves when worn. The belting extends from the back panel around the sides lower and is tied in front. The front panel is slightly shorter than the back panel so that the panels are of about the same height when the gown is worn and belted. The pockets are attached to the inside and outside of the front panel below the belt line at substantially the same height and in transversely spaced relation to each other. The hangers are attached to the inside and outside of the front panel respectively below the inside and outside pockets. The gown accommodates various medical appliances such as: a telemetry transmitter with its sensors attached to patient and its leads passing under the tied belting to relieve the pressure on the sensors; a catheter unit hung from either the inside or outside hangers, and thus below the patient's bladder, with its tubing coiled and supported on the hangers; and IV tubing threaded through one of the loops formed by a hangers and thus supported between an adjacent mobile stand and the patient.

1. A medical gown, comprising:a garment including opposed substantially rectangular front and back panels each having upper and lower edges and opposite side edges, each panel having opposite inside and outside surfaces, the panels being joined at their upper edges but not at their side edges, the garment providing a head opening adjacent to said upper edges, the panels defining side openings allowing access to said inside surfaces from exteriorly of the garment, the length of the back panel from the upper edge to the lower edge being longer than the corresponding length of the front panel; belting mounted on the back panel and having end portions long enough to enable them to be extended along a belt line across the side openings and transversely of the outside surface of the front panel so as to be tied in front of the front panel; a pocket attached to one of the surfaces of the front panel below said belt line; and a hanger attached to one of the surfaces of the front panel below said belt line.
