What is the blue nozzle shroud called

I am looking for a replacement blue nozzle shroud. The one on my machine had a piece of it tear off recently and I have been trying to find out how to order a replacement.

My printer has about 500 hours on it and is printing great.

It looks like a blue silicone material boot to cover the nozzle. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like they improved (or at least changed) the silicone sock. The hole for the nozzle is much larger now.
Probably good, that part deteriorates fast anyway.

I might try to 'adjust' my old socks by cutting away the burned bits to make the hole bigger.

However, the larger hole does leave a larger hot area to collect microscopically small filament debris until it drips onto the print.
