<p>A protective body appliance to prevent injury from external force to the underlying region of the wearer's body. The body appliance comprises a generally dome-shaped rigid shield secured to a flexible, compressible pad. The pad has a first section to which the rigid shield is attached, a second section that is adhered to the wearer's body, and the second pad section has two lateral wings separated by a center region all of which form an exposed surface which is placed against the wearer's body. The second pad section is mated to the first pad section along the center region so that the wings are movable relative to the first pad section. The wings permit the shield and first pad section to shift or rock relative to the second pad section in response to body movements and external forces, thus increasing the appliance's ability to remain adhered to the wearer over time.</p> |
