A stump sock is a textile sleeve worn over an amputated limb to improve the fit and comfort of a prosthetic socket. It acts as a cushion to reduce friction, enhance stability, and help with daily prosthetic adjustments by distributing pressure evenly across the residual limb.
These devices are generally single-use or short-term reusable, designed for individual patients. They are typically classified as medical textiles and may be regulated under general medical device standards depending on the jurisdiction, though classification varies by country and specific use case.
