Abstract
A socket interface sleeve is disclosed with a cylindrical member having an open end for receiving a limb, an opposing closed end, and a wall assembly comprised of a cushioning member formed from a polymeric gel. First and second fabric materials are disposed on the member to control support. The first material is elastically extensible in a first direction and is relatively elastically inextensible in a second direction, while the second material is extensible in the first direction and non-extensible in the second direction. In one embodiment, the first material is an elongated band extending the length of the sleeve. In a second embodiment, the first material extends from the midpoint to the end. In a third embodiment, the first material is uniformly elastic and extends from the opening to a midpoint of the sleeve.
