SAGE SOLUTIONS, INC. today announced the market release of its Drain Pouch Management Gown™ (DPM Gown™), a uniquely engineered patient gown, designed to manage drain bulb pouches during post-surgical recovery. The DPM Gown™ features patent pending, two-way pockets that securely hold drain bulbs in place. Four separate pockets accommodate a series of drain bulbs while giving patients freedom to comfortably move about. This gown is crafted of fabric treated with Microbe Shield™, a durable non-migrating treatment that inhibits bacteria growth, keeping it cleaner and fresher longer. The fabric has a silk-like feel and its smooth non-abrading surface protects sensitive skin during treatment and recovery. The DPM Gown™ is also lint free, which prevents bacteria and viruses from being transferred to wounds by the fabric. SAGE SOLUTIONS, INC. has also designed a standard hospital gown using this protective fabric.
Following a mastectomy in August 2007, Angela Davis struggled with three post-surgical Jackson-Pratt drain pouches and lines that pulled on her sutures and limited her mobility. This painful experience propelled Davis to design and manufacture a patient gown unlike any other currently available.
