Abstract A WRAP-AROUND FLAP IS JOINED TO THE FRONT OF A BACK OVERLAP SURGICAL ROBE ALONG A SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL SEAM TO MAINTAIN THE BACK OF A SURGICAL GOWN IN A STERILE CONDITION. THE FLAP INCLUDES ARM HOLES ADJACENT THE UPPER EDGE THEREOF THROUGH WHICH THE USER''S ARMS ARE INSERTED AS THE FLAP IS WRAPPED ABOUT HIM. AFTER A ROBE HAVING A DONNING ACCESS OPENING SECURED BY A CLOSURE MEANS AT ITS BACK IS DONNED, THE CLOSURE MEANS IS RENDERED EFFECTIVE BY AN ASSISTANT WHO IS NOT STERILE. THE FLAP IS SUBSEQUENTLY WRAPPED ABOUT THE USER COVERING THE CONTAMINATED BACK OF THE ROBE. WHILE THE FLAP IS BEING WRAPPED ABOUT THE USER, HE INSERTS HIS ARMS THROUGH THE ARM HOLES. THE FREE VERTICAL EDGE OF THE FLAP IS THEN SECURED TO THE FRONT OF THE GOWN.
