Selected
sheath
with the limited context, this is what I would suggest (myelin sheath)

Thanks Bogdana - I would stay with sheath; as in "protective sheath"

another possibility would be "sleeve", if you wish to avoid confusion with the natural myelin sheath

Note from asker:
| ok, a larger context: "Le [...] est un tube resorbable utilise comme guide dans le cadre de la regeneration de nerfs peripheriques en cas de section de nerfs ou comme manchon de protection de nerfs contus et/ou alteres anatomiquement ou physiologiquement [...]" |

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is made of layers of collagen and fibrin polymers, treated to reduce antigenicity and to control the rate of biodegradation following implantation. The material, in the preferred embodiment, is made into tubes by coating a mandrel with alternating layers of fibrin and collagen. Any number of layers may be produced depending upon the proposed application, and the tubes produced by the process are cut to the length dictated by the gap to be spanned. The diameter of the tube may be selected by varying the size of mandrel used for production of the tube.
The tubes produced by this method can be used either for tubulization of an end-to-end anastamosis of transected nerve, in other words, a cuff encircling the union of severed nerve cell ends, or it may be used for bridging gaps where end-to-end union cannot be achieved. In the former application, a cuff encircling the juncture of nerve ends protects the union and enhances healing. In the latter application, the proximal and distal ends of the transected nerve are inserted into the ends of the fibrin-collagen tube and sutured to the epineurium of the proximal and distal stumps. The tube provides a directed pathway for the proximal nerve fibers to follow in regenerating to the distal stump. In addition to providing a pathway for growth, the fibrin-collagen tube enhances the growth process. Under either application, the cuff or tube is resorbed into the body after the nerve has regenerated.

I would call it a "wrapper" too since you already have " tube"
depending how it fits your context
