Mechanical mechanism to maintain an object in the humannbody in presence of an ionic fluid comprising :n said object (102,104) having a proximal end and a distal endn(106), and an electrolytically severable tip (14) situated to release saidnobject upon application of electrolysis to said electrolytically severable tip, ncharacterized in that said object is isolated from electrolysis innsaid ionic fluid. n In particular, isolation from electrolysis is due to a mechanicalncoupler (100) interposed between the object (102,104) and saidnelectrolytically severable tip (14). |
