A tube-sock shaped polymeric covering for wearing over an amputation
stump. The covering has an open end for receiving the amputation stump
and a closed end opposite the open end. The covering includes a docking
means for attachment of an external device to the covering. The covering
may also include one or more areas of reinforcing material that can be
present in the form of a strip or rod, for example. The reinforcing
material is comprised of a material that is less stretchable than the
polymeric material forming the covering, and acts to reduce stretching
and/or movement of the covering
