Abstract: A seal for sealing an aperture in an object, through which aperture one or more elongate article(s) extend(s). The seal includes at least two pressure members; at least two seal members to seal the aperture, at least part of at least one of which is situated, in use, between the at least two pressure members; and a compression device to compress the seal members in use by moving the pressure members closer together. The seal is arranged such that each elongate article extends in between at least two seal members, the seal members being situated adjacent to each other in a lateral direction with respect to the direction in which the elongate article(s) extend(s), and being arranged to form a sealing contact with each other and with each elongate article when they are compressed by the compression device.

Abstract: A device for forming a seal around an elongate member, such as a wire, is provided. A device includes a first housing part and a second housing part movably connected to the first part. Sealing material such as a gel is positioned in the first housing part and provides a surface onto which the elongate member may be placed. A first member is positioned in the second housing part so as to displace the elongate member substantially laterally into the sealing material on movement of the second housing part relative to the first housing part. A device for applying a force to the sealing material on relative movement of the housing parts is also provided.
