A protective limb cover is a flexible plastic shell which is fit immediately post-operative. This device helps to control edema and protect the sensitive surgical site following amputation. The device crosses the knee and reduces the possible incidence of knee flexion contractures. IPOP stands for immediate post operative prosthesis and is a protective limb cover with an attached pylon and foot.
