    Abstract: A bushing is provided for a wire. The bushing includes a polymeric body that extends a length from an end to an opposite end. The body includes a pre-coiled shape wherein the body includes at least one coil defined between the ends. The body is biased to the pre-coiled shape and is flexible such that the body is configured to be at least partially unwound from the pre-coiled shape, against the bias, for wrapping the body around the wire. The body is resiliently unwindable from the pre-coiled shape such that the body is configured to at least partially return to the pre-coiled shape as the body is wrapped around the wire.
