<p>The invention relates to a method to facilitate the procedure slipping elastane fiber-containing devices, which are designed to exert mechanical forces, over a human or animal body, a plant, or an object, characterized in that the device is pulled over an apparatus that is designed to retain said device in a widened configuration, and thereafter cooling the apparatus together with the pulled over device to a temperature that is below the temperature of the human or animal body, plant or object, respectively, and is low enough to fix the widened conformation by a shape memory effect of the elastane fibers, as well as to apparatuses, devices and fibers usable in the method of the invention.</p> |
