Hospital / examination gown
Description
The Polycotton Pullover Gown in Blue is a reusable hospital patient gown designed with a pull-over style and open back, providing generous coverage and enhanced patient dignity. It has no ties or fastenings; instead, the back overlap is held in place by a large single-needle box stitch pattern at the neck, giving a secure fit while maintaining ease of use. The absence of ties and fasteners reduces the risk of artefacts or “ghost images” on X-rays, making the gown especially popular in radiology and imaging departments. Constructed from blue twill polyester/cotton fabric, it offers durability, easy laundering and low maintenance for hospitals and clinics. The gown is sized generously for adults and can be used in any department where an open-back patient gown is required.
Bnefits
- No ties or fastenings – simplifies donning and removal for patients and staff and eliminates loose ties that can interfere with imaging equipment.
- Open-back design with generous fabric overlap at the rear to help maintain patient dignity during examinations and procedures.
- Large single-needle box pattern at the neck secures the back overlap without additional fasteners, providing a neat, robust finish.
- Preferred by X-ray and imaging departments because the lack of metal fasteners or ties minimises artefacts and ghost images on radiographs.
- Generous adult sizing accommodates a wide range of body types and enhances comfort in bed or during seated procedures.
- Low-maintenance design with no ties or fasteners reduces repair and laundering costs and extends garment life.
- Made from durable blue twill polyester/cotton fabric, suitable for repeated washing and hospital-grade laundering.
- Versatile: suitable for use across all hospital departments where an open-back gown is required, including wards, day-case units and outpatient clinics.
Indications

- Particularly suited for radiology and X-ray departments where ties or fasteners may interfere with imaging or cause artefacts.
- General examination, pre-operative and post-operative wear where modesty, access and ease of handling are important.
- Use in inpatient wards, theatre preparation areas, day surgery, outpatient clinics and other clinical environments.

Usage
- For professional healthcare use as part of hospital or clinic patient Apparel.
- To don, the patient places arms through the sleeves and pulls the gown over the head so that the overlap at the back is held by the stitched neck panel.
- Ensure the back overlap sits correctly to provide adequate coverage and patient dignity; adjust as necessary while the patient is seated or lying down.
- Use in departments where open-back access is required, such as X-ray, by positioning the patient in line with local imaging protocols.
- After use, remove the gown over the head to avoid contamination, following local infection-prevention procedures.
- Send used gowns for laundering according to hospital or contract laundry guidelines for polyester/cotton clinical textiles (e.g. appropriate thermal disinfection cycles).
