An apparatus facilitates slipping on a limb, a tubular compression orthosis, such as a compressive stocking made of elastic material, or the like. The apparatus includes a support arm ( 6 ), an stretching clamp ( 1 ) including a tubular body ( 7 ) mounted longitudinally sliding, on the support arm ( 6 ) and two opposite jaws ( 8, 9 ) with substantially parallel stretching plates ( 12, 15 ), whereon can be slipped a tubular orthosis in retracted inactive state, and a mechanism ( 2 ) for controlling the opening of the stretching clamp ( 1 ) to exert a thrust to gradually move the second jaw ( 9 ) away from the first jaw ( 8 ) up to an extreme position corresponding to the maximum stretched position of the orthosis, said stretching being maintained by self-wedging. Also described is a device for removing a tubular compression orthosis or the like.
