Abstract: An adjustable brace for stabilizing a body part of a patient and a method of fabricating such a brace is provided. In some embodiments, the adjustable brace comprises a first 3D printed stabilizer having a first exterior surface, a first interior surface, and a first thickness; a second stabilizer comprising a second exterior surface, a second interior surface, and a second thickness; one or more attachment points; and one or more selective engagement structures, wherein the first 3D printed stabilizer selectively engages with the second 3D printed stabilizer at common peripheries of the first 3D printed stabilizer and second 3D printed stabilizer via the one or more selective engagement structures, respectively; and a position of the first 3D printed stabilizer is adjustable in relation to the second 3D printed stabilizer.

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. The first contact portion may be configured to contact the subject's body above the clavicle. The second contact portion may be configured to contact the subject's body below the clavicle. The bridge portion may be configured to be spaced apart from the subject's body when the first contact portion and the second contact portion contact the subject's body.

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.
