An apparatus for providing ease in dressing for patients with shoulder or arm problems, providing doctors with easy access to the injured area is disclosed. The apparatus shows a garment which unzips at the shoulder and down the side. The garment can either be unzipped completely for easy dressing and undressing, or unzipped partially so that the doctor may examine the shoulder area without the garment's removal. The present invention is appropriate for public wear. It can be either sleeveless or short sleeved so that it may fit under or over a cast or sling.

The invention provides a garment including a torso portion of an extent sufficient to encircle a garment wearer's torso and arm openings provided in the torso portion. Generally vertical and cooperating front torso portion edges are included, providing a vertical front closure of the torso portion. At least one opening in the torso portion is provided. This garment opening is of an extent that is sufficient to accommodate passage of a fluidic tube and a corresponding fluidic receptacle through the opening and to accommodate positioning of at least one fluidic tube to extend from the through the garment opening. At least one fluidic receptacle support is located on an outside surface of the torso portion. The fluidic receptacle support has a receptacle support surface below a point at which a corresponding fluidic tube would be positioned to extend through a corresponding garment opening. This garment configuration enables self-positioning and maintenance of drainage tubes and receptacles by the garment wearer while at the same time allowing for concealment of the tubes and receptacles, thereby aiding in patient recovery.

The present invention relates to clothing specifically designed for incapacitated or bedridden patients. The clothing includes trousers, shorts, a shirt and an undergarment each having separable seams allowing the garments to be easily removed from a patient with minimal movement or manipulation of the patient's body. Each garment has an integrated moisture detection means which will emit an audible alarm upon sensing a predetermined amount of moisture. The clothing also has a temperature detecting means, for instantaneously providing the patient's body temperature, removably attached thereto. Preferably, each garment is constructed with a fabric like material that has been pretreated with an antibacterial, an anti-fugal or an antiviral agent in order to minimize bed sores, skin rashes and other skin irritations.
