GIV Classic Back-Closing Patient Gown
The patient gown you already know, rebuilt. No ties, an overlapping back that stays closed, and fabric that feels like clothing.
- Designed by a medical provider
- 30-day returns on unworn gowns
- 1% of every gown goes to the GIV Back Initiative
Why GIV Gowns exist
The outcome of care is often determined before care begins.
The back-tie gown has barely changed in a hundred years, and every patient knows the feeling of holding it closed behind them. The GIV Classic keeps the familiar shape and fixes what was wrong with it: magnets or snaps instead of ties, and overlapping back panels that close the gap.
Designed for dignity
Overlapping back panels close the open-back gap, so you stay covered when you stand, walk or sit.
Built for efficiency
The back opens for a posterior exam and closes again in seconds, with no ties to knot or untangle.
Driven by impact
Every GIV Classic is reusable, and 1% of every gown goes to the GIV Back Initiative, which has already given custom HERO gowns to children facing cancer.
The GIV Classic innovations
What this gown does

Overlapping back
The back panels overlap and close with magnet or snap attachments, so the gap every traditional patient gown leaves behind you is gone, and the back still opens fully for an exam.
Magnets or snaps, no ties
Magnets or snaps replace the ties. Magnets close with one hand for anyone with limited grip or vision, and snaps are made for MRI and imaging settings.
Underarm slits
A slit under each arm lets your medical provider slide the sleeve up over the shoulder for an exam, so you never have to pull your arm out of the sleeve.
Fabric that feels like clothing
A custom polyester-spandex blend, chosen after testing ten versions, that moves with you and holds up wash after wash.

About the GIV Classic
Ideal for
Annual exams and well-woman visits; routine checkups; OB-GYN and primary care; standard-gown replacement across general care; procedure preparation and recovery; dermatology.
How it works
The familiar full-length, back-closing patient gown, upgraded. Magnets or snaps replace ties; overlapping panels reduce the open-back gap. The back opens for a posterior exam. Always-open underarm slits let sleeve fabric lift over the shoulder for an upper-arm exam without pulling the whole arm out.
Why choose it
Choose this hospital gown alternative for the standard-gown experience with better fabric, fit, fastening, and back coverage. For colonoscopy visits, it suits changing and recovery when permitted.
