*Would need to wait a long time for a nurse to disconnect the IV, this can be up to 45 minutes. Lemon PJs are very easy to put on and off. No need to wait for a nurse.
*Very easy to dress and no need to wait for a nurse.
*Easy to put on patient - nice quality comfy for patient.
*It is really great as patients usually have cannulas / IV, very efficient for elderly care.
*Hospital Gowns expose patients and do not maintain privacy and dignity. Well Cool Clothing does.
*Patients struggle to tie the gown at the back, Well Cool Clothing fastens easy.
*Ideal for less mobile patients, especially in ICU.
*I think it would be beneficial for hospitals as it enables personalisation of patients, therefore it could promote independence.
*Also beneficial to family members of patients as it humanises the patient more than standard gowns.
