• two half rings, each half ring having two ends configured to come into contact with one another;
• the two half rings being configured to move relative to one another until they surround the elongate body, without touching, and able to translate, relative to one another, along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the elongate body until the ends of the half rings are in contact to form a ring surrounding the elongate body;
• and
• a preliminary blocker comprising:
• a stationary jaw provided with at least two pads forming an obtuse angle relative to one another;
• a removable jaw;
• a removable jaw support including at least one guide for the removable jaw, the at least one guide guiding a movement of the removable jaw parallel to the stationary jaw;
