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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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
