Question
I hate to sound stupid, but what exactly is a 3-armhole gown I am looking for oversized wrap-around gown with a slit in the front for modesty exams. Can you help me with this?

Answer
This gown is a wrap-style gown which has a third hole for the arm, not an entire sleeve.  This third arm hole is inside of the gown and allows for the 2nd sleeve and remainder of the gown to wrap around and be worn for the patient to be examined from the front or back.  No ties or snaps are needed for securing of the gown.
