Abstract
A disposable protective garment to be worn primarily by a medical and/or nursing attendant while treating burn victims. Primarily the garment includes a front portion which covers the front body portion of the attendant. An abbreviated back portion covers the shoulder portions of the attendant sufficiently to hold the garment in place. Ties may be provided on a waist portion of the garment to hold the garment securely on that portion of the body. Sleeve portions of the garment are provided with weakened areas to provide means for adjusting the length of the sleeves to different personnel. In one modification a back body portion may have perforations to provide ventilation. In another modification a part of the back portion may be separable to provide such ventilation. Another modification may be sleeveless.
