Stump Cone Alison Saulsbery Marissa Ammer, Jonisha Pollard Drew Buffat, CP & Bob McGuire, CP 25 January 2005

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
