Abstract

A prosthetic suspension sleeve having reinforcement that prevents or minimizes damage to the suspension sleeve, particularly as a result of abrasion, puncture, or an impact with another object during use. The reinforcement may be selectively located along one or more interior, exterior, or interior and exterior areas of a suspension sleeve. The reinforcement material may be comprised of one or more materials that preferably exhibit resistance to cuts, tears, punctures and/or other damage. In an alternative embodiment, reinforcement may be provided by mixing one or more reinforcing materials into the polymeric material of the suspension sleeve. Combinations of different reinforcement types may be employed.
