Background

• After amputations, the stump needs to be tightly
  wrapped to prevent edema and to shape the stump
  to receive a prosthetic.
• The pressure must be adequate throughout the
  device, tighter at the bottom, looser at the top.
  
• It will fit over the stump and be easily removed
  and replaced.

The Stump Cone

• The Stump Cone will have an inner lining that can
  easily change shape as the limb changes shape
  throughout the day
• As the residual limb becomes smaller, the device
  will be able to fit around it maintaining
  compression
• The outer lining will be a harder plastic to
  protect the limb against bumps and falls
• The Stump Cone is a Class One device

SolidWorks Model

• A SolidWorks model has been made
• Redesign the cone to include a strap so that the
  cone does not fall off
• First Design Second Design

Goals Objectives

• Add a strap to ensure the Stump Cone stays on the
  limb
• Discuss the prototype with DeLatorre Prosthetics
• Decide on which material would work best from
  what they have in stock
• Set up a time to make the prototype
