Thin sheet around a body part (8)

I believe the answer is:

membrane

(Other definitions for membrane that I've seen before include "Thin, pliable sheet of living tissue" , "Thin sheet covering organs" , "Thin sheet as a barrier" , "Cell lining" , "Thin sheet that surrounds body parts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
