1. A clavicle protective device for protecting a clavicle of a subject, the clavicle protective device comprising:
a contoured member configured to cover at least a portion of a clavicle, wherein the contoured member comprises:
an outer profile surrounding an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer profile is defined at least in part from a boundary representation (BRep) solid modeling process performed on a point cloud of anatomical data collected from a subject's body;
the inner surface configured to face the portion of the clavicle and at least partially conforming to the anatomical data, wherein the inner surface is defined at least in part from a non-uniform rational basis (NURB)-spline surface modeling process performed on the point cloud of anatomical data collected from the subject's body;
the outer surface configured to face away from the portion of the clavicle;
a first contact portion configured to contact the subject's body above the clavicle;
a second contact portion configured to contact the subject's body below the clavicle;
a bridge portion positioned between the first contact portion and the second contact portion, wherein the bridge portion:
is configured to be offset from the portion of the clavicle when the first contact portion and the second contact portion contact the subject's body;
extends from a first location at a first side of the outer profile to a second location at a second side of the outer profile; and
comprises a length in a first direction extending from the first location to the second location and a width in a second direction transverse to the first direction, and wherein the length is greater than the width;

an Izod impact strength of about 600-100 J/m; and
a flexural modulus of 0.4-0.9 GPa.
