Abstract
A kit including a sleeve; a tubular core for stretching the sleeve, tightly covered by the sleeve and adapted to receive internally an elongate member; and a thin and flexible sliding element disposed between the sleeve and the core to enable the core to slide relative to the sleeve. The sliding element makes a half-turn over a first end of the core so as thereafter to be disposed inside the core in order to be able to be pulled from the second end of the core. The sliding element includes a net formed of flexible filaments with at least one layer of filaments connected to each other in a predetermined arrangement. The filaments are adapted to slide on the outside surface of the core and to turn back on themselves around the first end of the core.
