Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A back opening gown of nonwoven material is provided having a pair of sleeves, a front panel joined at its upper lateral edges to the sleeves, the front panel flaring pronouncedly below the sleeves, and a pair of side panels attached to the sleeves and to the lateral edges of the front panel below the sleeves, each of the side panels having a lower opposed corner section which forms an obtuse angle with respect to the bottom edge of the front panel. The upper portion of the gown conforms substantially to the torso of a wearer. The gown extends from the neck to the ankles of the wearer and the flaring front panel provides girth to the lower portion of the gown to permit the wearer to spread his legs while in a seated position without being constrained by the gown material. The angled edges of the corner sections cause the edges of the sections to be located clear of a floor while the wearer is seated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A back-opening gown of nonwoven material comprising: a pair of sleeves; a front panel joined at its upper lateral edges to said sleeves, said front panel flaring pronouncedly below said sleeves; a pair of side panels attached to said sleeves and to the lateral edges of said front panel below said sleeves, each of said side panels having a lower opposed corner section, the edge of said corner section forming an obtuse angle with respect to the bottom edge of said front panel in the range of about 125 to about 145 degrees; and back closure means, the gown being constructed so that the upper portion of said gown conforms substantially to the torso of the wearer, said gown extending from the neck to the ankles of a wearer and said flaring front panel providing girth to the lower portion of said gown to permit the wearer to spread his legs while in a seated position without being constrained by the gown material, and the angled edges of the corner sections causing the edges of the sections to be located clear of a floor while the wearer is seated.
2.
The back-opening gown according to claim 1 wherein said obtuse angle is about 135 degrees.
3.
The back-opening gown according to claim 1 wherein said front panel includes a central operative field comprising a liquid impermeable material.
4.
The back-opening gown according to claim 3 wherein said central operative field extends substantially to the bottom edge of said front panel and laterally to the lateral edges of said front panel.
5.
The back opening gown according to claim 4 wherein said central operative field extends downward from about the nipples of the wearer.
6.
The back-opening gown according to claim 3 wherein said central operative field is coextensive with said front panel.
7.
The back-opening gown according to claim 1 wherein the lower portion of said front panel includes a substantially triangular insert.
8.
The back-opening gown according to claim 1 wherein said gown is disposable.
9.
The back-opening gown according to claim 1 wherein said sleeves include a central operative field comprising a liquid impermeable material
