Surgical patient underpants

Surgical patient underpants are loose‑fitting garments made from natural or synthetic materials such as paper, cloth, or plastic, designed to provide comfort, modesty, and a modest amount of warmth to patients before, during, and after surgery. They may feature openings that allow clinicians access to body orifices while the patient remains covered.

These garments are supplied as single‑use items and are not intended to provide therapeutic support or contain antimicrobial features. As a medical device, they fall under the general device regulations governing disposable apparel and must meet applicable safety and labeling requirements.
