Claim 0:
1. A mechanical component comprising:
a core having a proximal end, a distal region, and an intermediate region connecting the distal region with the proximal end, the core comprising a shape memory material shaped into an initial form, the core configured to move from the initial form to an activated form upon a temperature of the core warming past a transition temperature of the shape memory material;
a sheath circumferentially surrounding the core, a distal portion of the sheath configured to be in electrical communication with a distal portion of the core; and
an insulator disposed between the core and the sheath, the insulator configured to block a flow of electrical current between a proximal portion of the sheath and a proximal portion of the core.
