Hospital sheet or blanket
US-7594287-B2Abstract
Coverings, such as sheets or blankets, for use in medical settings are described herein. The coverings contain one or more closable slits or openings. In the preferred embodiment, the covering contains two slits. One slit is along the length of the material, in the center of the covering, and a second slit is perpendicular to the first slit. Thus, when used to cover a patient, the first slit generally runs along the length of a patient's body, and the second slit generally runs across the width of the patient's upper torso and outstretched arms. The slits or openings, or portions thereof, can be closed as desired by any suitable fastener, such as snaps, zippers, tape, buttons, or hook and loop fasteners. The closable slits allow a patient to remain covered while receiving the necessary medical care. Optionally, the covering contains one or more pockets. The covering may be made of any washable natural or synthetic material or blend thereof. Optionally the covering is disposable, and preferably it is formed from a degradable material.
