What do you wear under a hospital gown?
When you attend hospital for an appointment, you may be asked to wear a hospital patient gown for a procedure, for example for an x-ray or colonoscopy. The nursing staff will explain to you what to wear under the gown, as it varies depending on the type of procedure. In the majority of cases, you will be asked to remove all other clothing and just leave your underwear on underneath the gown.
Interweave provides the Dignity hospital gown to many hospitals, as this provides the patient with more dignity. The Dignity gown covers the whole body and features simple straps to tie up; meaning that patients don’t need to ask for help fastening fiddly poppers.
