What is an Adaptive Open Back Nightgown?

June 17, 2019

How are Silvert’s Hospital Gowns different?

No Pressure Points – Patients do not lay or rest on closures. You and your loved one can rest easy knowing the snaps are placed on the shoulders of the wearer. This way whether they are in a wheelchair or resting in a bed, the snaps will never create any pressure points.
Complete Dignity – Every open back nightgown has snaps on both shoulders. This is to allow for a full back overlap. The full back overlap is to ensure complete dignity and safety while moving around with the open back nightgown on.
Attractive – You can look good & feel good. Silvert’s is constantly coming out with different styles, fabrics and prints. The perfect personalization. Pick if you want long sleeves, short sleeves or meet in the middle with a three quarter sleeve. Finally each season there will be new prints and colours, so you can keep up to date with the latest colours and prints.
Comfort – You can find these nightgowns in three different fabrics. The lightweight poly-cotton blend is great for summer time and a light fabric. Secondly, our most popular is the knit, the perfect blend to be breathable but warm. Finally there is the flannelette nightgown, to keep you warm and also made with 100% cotton, for those who don’t want a poly-cotton blend.

How to put on a hospital gown

The patient remains in a seated position or flat prone position while being dressed.
The patient’s arms are inserted easily into the sleeves of the adaptive sleeping gown and the garment is drawn up to the shoulders.
You or the caregiver simply wraps the generous overlap across the back and the snap closure on each shoulder is snapped into place. If the patient is in a flat position they are rolled over or lifted at the shoulders and the generous overlap across the back is snapped into place on top of the shoulders. The snaps are positioned in such a way that the patient does not experience any uncomfortable pressure points. The person being dressed is left completely covered without ever having to stand. With snaps on the shoulders, the dresser doesn’t have to force the snaps together underneath the patient. It can be done up on the shoulders making it much easier on both the wearer and the caregiver that’s dressing their patient or loved one.
You can rest assure the disrobing process is just as easy. Simply unsnap the dome closures just the same as the rest of Silvert’s adaptive clothes, and slide the nightgown off.
