A pants-type covering portion has an insertion port that covers a subject, who is a test object, from a torso portion to a thigh portion, and allows an insertion part of the endoscope to be inserted thereinto. The first fluid suppression member is provided in the insertion port of the covering portion and suppresses passage of the fluid in the insertion port. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An examination garment for endoscopy, comprising: a covering portion that covers a subject and that has an insertion port into which an insertion part of an endoscope is inserted; and a first fluid suppression member that is provided in the insertion port and that suppresses passage of a fluid in the insertion port. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 1, wherein the covering portion has a suction tube port into which a suction tube is inserted. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 2, further comprising: a second fluid suppression member that is provided in the suction tube port and that suppresses the passage of the fluid in the suction tube port. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 1, wherein the covering portion is a pants-type covering portion including a torso hole through which a torso portion of the subject passes and a thigh hole through which a thigh portion passes. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 4, wherein the covering portion has a contractible member, which contracts the thigh hole, provided around the thigh hole. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 5, wherein the contractible member is a string or an elastic member that is doubly wrapped around the thigh hole. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 5, wherein the contractible member is a gathering that is disposed around the thigh hole. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 1, wherein the covering portion is formed of a planar sheet capable of being wrapped around the subject. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 8, wherein the sheet has a quadrangular outer shape in a case where the sheet is brought into an unfolded state. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 8, wherein the sheet has a T-shaped outer shape in a case where the sheet is brought into an unfolded state. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 8, further comprising: a holding member that holds a state in which the covering portion is wrapped around the subject. ### Claim 12 (depends on 3) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 3, further comprising: a fixing member that attaches at least one of the first or second fluid suppression member to the covering portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 3) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the first or second fluid suppression member has at least a first porous member in which a first slit parallel to an insertion direction of the insertion part is formed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 13, further comprising: a second porous member in which a second slit parallel to the insertion direction and intersecting the first slit is formed. ### Claim 15 (depends on 3) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the first or second fluid suppression member has a first porous member in which three first slits are formed, and a second porous member in which three second slits are formed. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 15, wherein the first porous member and the second porous member each have a rectangular outer shape, one of the first slits is disposed to be perpendicular to one side of the first porous member, one of the second slits is disposed to be perpendicular to one side of the second porous member, and the first porous member and the second porous member are attached to the covering portion in a state in which the second slit is disposed at a position rotated by 180° around a central axis parallel to the insertion direction with respect to the first slit. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 12, wherein at least one of the first or second fluid suppression member is attached to the covering portion in a state in which the first porous member and the second porous member are laminated. ### Claim 18 (depends on 3) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the first or second fluid suppression member has a duckbill valve that maintains airtightness of a pipe line in a state in which the insertion part is not inserted, and a thin plate member that has a through-hole with an inner diameter that matches an outer diameter of the insertion part and maintains the airtightness of the pipe line in a state in which the insertion part is inserted, and is attached to the covering portion in a state in which the duckbill valve and the thin plate member are laminated. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 12, wherein the fixing member includes a tubular member that extends to an outside of the covering portion in a case where the covering portion has covered the subject. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 19, wherein at least one of the first or second fluid suppression member has a convex portion that protrudes to the outside of the covering portion in a case where the covering portion has covered the subject. ### Claim 21 (depends on 1) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 1, wherein the covering portion is formed of a transparent or translucent member. ### Claim 22 (depends on 1) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 1, wherein an absorbent material that absorbs a liquid is provided inside the covering portion. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 22, wherein the absorbent material is attachable and detachable with respect to the covering portion. ### Claim 24 (depends on 22) The examination garment for endoscopy according to claim 22, wherein the absorbent
