摘要

A method for fitting an orthopaedic cover/stocking onto a stump without abrading the skin has a double layer sleeve made in one piece and folded inside itself. The two parts of the sleeve taper to bottom holes fitted with pull loops. The double layer sleeve is fitted to ease fitting of the cover/stocking and is easily removed by pulling the loops. The two sleeves are made of the same textile material covered with a low friction coating.
