Abstract

A clavicle protective device may include a contoured member configured to cover at least a portion of the clavicle. The contoured member may have an inner surface configured to face the at least a portion of the clavicle and an outer surface configured to face away from the at least a portion of the clavicle. The contoured member may include a first contact portion, a second contact portion, and a bridge portion positioned between the first contact portion and the second contact portion.

Abstract

A method for generating a representation of a three-dimensional protective device includes accessing a scan of anatomical data of a target and identifying a reference model of a closest size or proportion to a size or proportion of the target. The method further includes creating a boundary of a three-dimensional protective device using the reference model and the scan of anatomical data of the target. Additionally, the method includes generating a representation of a continuous, three-dimensional surface of the three-dimensional protective device that corresponds to the scan of anatomical data and the reference model within the boundary of the three-dimensional protective device.
