Endovascular electrolytically detachable wire for thrombus formation

摘要

Mechanical mechanism to maintain an object in the human body in presence of an ionic fluid comprising : said object (102,104) having a proximal end and a distal end (106), and an electrolytically severable tip (14) situated to release said object upon application of electrolysis to said electrolytically severable tip, characterized in that said object is isolated from electrolysis in said ionic fluid. In particular, isolation from electrolysis is due to a mechanical coupler (100) interposed between the object (102,104) and said electrolytically severable tip (14).
