patient robes

Backless medical garments

Patient robes are the loose, open-backed garments worn by people receiving medical care in hospitals and clinics.

They fasten with ties at the back or side, allowing easy access for examinations and procedures while preserving minimal modesty: The nurse handed me a patient robe and told me to change.

Also called hospital gowns.
