Abstract
A grommet for feeding a stranded element through an opening includes a first grommet element having an elongated first body with a first collar radially extended relative to the first body. The grommet includes a second grommet element having an elongated second body with a second collar radially extended relative to the second body. The first grommet element and the second grommet element are formed separately from each other. A feedthrough includes the grommet, and a method includes feeding a stranded element through an opening.

A grommet for feeding a stranded element through an opening, the grommet comprising:
- a first grommet element comprising an elongated first body with a first collar radially extended relative to the first body;
- and
- a second grommet element comprising an elongated second body with a second collar radially extended relative to the second body;
- wherein the first grommet element and the second grommet element are formed separately from each other;
- and
- wherein:
- the first collar circumferentially projects beyond a circumferential end of the first body to circumferentially overlap with the second body;
- and/or
- the second collar circumferentially projects beyond a circumferential end of the second body to circumferentially overlap with the first body.
A grommet for feeding a stranded element through an opening, the grommet comprising:
- a first grommet element comprising an elongated first body with a first collar radially extended relative to the first body;
- and
- a second grommet element comprising an elongated second body with a second collar radially extended relative to the second body;
- wherein the first grommet element and the second grommet element are formed separately from each other;
