Abstract:

A protective device for an upper extremity post-operative residual limb of a user. The protective device includes a multi-section shell having a shape that corresponds to an anatomical structure of the upper extremity post-operative residual limb of the user. The protective device also includes a hinge coupled with a first section and a second section of the multi-section shell, the hinge configured to facilitate relative rotation of the first section and the second section to transition the protective device between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The multi-section shell is configured to receive one or more attachments to increase functionality of the upper extremity post-operative residual limb of the user.
