Abstract
A removable medical support mechanism can be used to protect a body member from injury. The mechanism includes a layer of flexible material providing a constrictive force upon the body member and a mesh layer comprising a plurality of interconnected mesh links. The mesh layer is configured to distribute a force of an impact upon the mechanism, thereby protecting the body member from receiving the force of the impact.

A removable medical support mechanism protecting a body member contained within the mechanism, the mechanism comprising:
- a layer of flexible material providing a constrictive force upon the body member;
- and
- a chain mesh layer comprising a plurality of interconnected mesh rings, wherein each ring is directly attached within the circumference of at least three other rings;
- and
- wherein the mesh layer is configured to distribute a force of an impact upon the mechanism and protect the body member.
A removable medical support mechanism protecting a body member contained within the mechanism, the mechanism comprising:
- an inner layer of flexible material;
- an outer layer of flexible material;
- and
- a chain mesh layer located between the inner layer and the outer layer comprising a plurality of interconnected mesh rings, wherein each ring is directly attached within the circumference of at least three other rings;
- and
- wherein the mesh layer is configured to distribute a force of an impact upon the mechanism and protect the body member.
A method to protect a body member from an impact force, comprising:
- containing the body member within a removable medical support mechanism, the mechanism comprising:
- a layer of flexible material providing a constrictive force upon the body member;
- and
- a chain mesh layer comprising a plurality of interconnected mesh rings, wherein each ring is directly attached within the circumference of at least three other rings and wherein the mesh layer is configured to distribute a force of an impact upon the mechanism and protect the body member.
