A dimensionally recoverable body, which is preferably heat-recoverable, has a body wall which is provided with a plurality of locking elements that are engageable with each other, or are engageable with corresponding elements located on a separate partition, to furcate the body into a plurality of channels. The body may be used for enclosing branch-offs in electrical cables in order to protect the enclosed branch-off from the environment.

A dimensionally-recoverable sleeve or wrap-around sleeve having a wall provided with a plurality of locking elements located on the wall that are engagable with each other, or are engagable with corresponding locking elements located on a separate partition, to furcate the sleeve or wrap-around sleeve into a plurality of channels. A furcated elongate substrate enclosed by a sleeve or wrap-around sleeve as claimed in claim 1. A substrate as claimed in claim 22 which is an electrical cable. A partition for furcating a hollow body, which comprises a wall portion having, at each of two opposed edges thereof, one or more locking elements arranged along each of the said edges, the locking elements being engagable with corresponding locking elements located on the body wall. A method of enclosing part of an elongate substrate that furcates into a plurality of branches, which comprises positioning about the substrate a dimensionally-recoverable sleeve or wrap-around sleeve having a wall provided with a plurality of locking elements located on the wall that are engagable with each other or are engagable with corresponding locking elements located on a separate partition, engaging the locking elements on the wall with each other or with corresponding locking elements located on the partition to furcate the sleeve or wrap-around sleeve into a plurality of channels so that each channel encloses a branch of the substrate, and recovering the sleeve or wrap-around sleeve about the substrate.
