What is an Open Back Gown? 

Open back nightgowns and hospital gowns are a great alternative to the traditional disposable gowns that you receive in hospitals. The Silverts open back gowns feature two completely overlapping back panels attached at the shoulders with snap closures. They are made of soft, stretchy fabrics that reduce the risk of pressure points and discomfort.

Why is this important?

Traditional disposable hospital gowns lack dignity, personality and comfort. Our open back designs provide the same access to ports, incisions, injuries and catheters but with more coverage, style and comfort. The no peek design means there is complete dignity in mind, the two overlapping back panels means even with movement or one panel open there is privacy and no peeking. Your loved one can be dressed and undressed without lifting or jostling, this removes the chance of injury for both them and their caregiver.

Discrete closures reduce risk of pressure points with snaps hidden at the shoulder seams.

With complete dignity in mind, the bottom panel fully covers the backside even when one flap is open, no peeking.

Double overlap means it can open completely like a hospital gown, for easy dressing and personal care.

Ideal for seated or supine dressing, these gowns can be put on from the front and snapped at the shoulders with minimal lifting. Resulting in less injuries and pain to both the wearer and dresser.
