Description
The Butterfly Sleeve Adult Patient Gown – Blue Stripe is a reusable hospital gown from MIP designed to provide comfort, modesty and easy clinical access for adult patients. It features wide butterfly sleeves to better accommodate patients with larger arms, casts or dressings, a white round neckline, neck tie and side waist tie, and a generous wider sweep for a more comfortable fit. Made from a durable 50/50 poly/cotton fabric at 110 gsm, the gown is suitable for all healthcare departments and can be washed up to thermal disinfection temperatures and tumble dried on a medium heat. One size fits most adult patients.

Usage

- Use the side waist tie to wrap and secure the gown around the patient’s body, adjusting for comfort and modesty.
- Ensure butterfly sleeves sit comfortably around the upper arms, allowing sufficient space for any casts, dressings or IV lines.
- Laundry care (follow label and institutional policy): wash at thermal disinfection temperatures as required by local infection-control standards, typically up to 71–95 °C depending on process; use appropriate detergent system for healthcare textiles.
- Tumble dry on a medium heat setting; remove promptly to minimise creasing.

Contraindications
- Not suitable as a barrier garment for high-risk isolation or procedures requiring fluid-impermeable or sterile gowns.
- Do not use on patients where local policy mandates disposable or specialised protective gowns (e.g. certain infection-control scenarios) instead of standard reusable patient gowns.
- Do not use if the gown is visibly soiled, torn or otherwise damaged prior to patient wear.
Adverse Effects
- In rare cases, individuals with sensitivities may experience irritation from poly/cotton fabrics or laundry detergent residues; alternative garments may be required for such patients.
Storage Conditions
- Store clean gowns in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from dust and direct sunlight.
- Keep laundered gowns separate from used/soiled linen in accordance with infection-control and laundry policies.
- Ensure gowns are fully dry before storage to prevent mildew or odour development.
