Trauma plate - Orthopaedic Implants
A trauma plate, also known as an armor plate or ballistic plate, is a protective armored plate inserted into a carrier or bulletproof vest, that can protect by itself, or increase the protection of the vest.
It serves to defeat higher threats, and may be considered as a form of applique armor. It is usually inserted into the front and back, with side inserts also sometimes used. There are also plates for other regions, such as the shoulders
