Shaping something for the whole body would be difficult, because most puncture resistant materials aren’t very stretchy. You’d have to have the perfect shape for a specific person. It probably is possible, but likely to take a lot of work and be rather uncomfortable.
Doing some quick googling, I find sharkstop.co, which makes wetsuits to protect against shark attacks. They say the “placement of Shark Stop panels … have been strategically chosen to significantly reduce the amount of blood lost during a shark bite incident…” It sounds like they’re carefully choosing the location to make trade offs between protection and wearability, which I suspect is the right approach. We do the same thing with our booties, and only have stingray resistant material covering some percentage of the bootie.
