trauma plate
Bulletproof vest insert
A trauma plate is a rigid armor insert, typically ceramic or steel, designed to fit into a ballistic vest to protect against high-velocity rifle rounds.
Standard soft body armor stops handgun bullets; trauma plates add protection for the chest and back against more powerful threats.
Military and law enforcement personnel wear them in combat zones or high-risk operations: The round hit his trauma plate dead center.
