Abstract
A disposable patient garment system that includes a disposable patient garment that is constructed in the general shape of elastic waisted shorts that can be worn while waiting to be examined but that have a split from the front center thereof down between the two legs and up the back side to the back center thereof to not hinder the examination. The system also includes a moisture proof packaging and disposal bag that is used to initially package and store the disposable patient garment and that includes a sealable lower garment holding chamber into which the used disposable patient garment is sealed with a two-part sealing mechanism after a rupturable disinfectant holding cell filled with an alcohol based disinfectant is ruptured to ensure safe disposal of the medical waste.
