Abstract: The cylinder has a stator (1a,b) and rotors (2a,b) with a key recess and a bit (7) between the two rotors (2a,b). The mechanical connection between the bit and at least one of the rotors is effectuated by mechanical connection between the bit and one of the rings of the drive lug. The movement of an axial element (13) is limited so that the axial element does not extend beyond the plane of the central flange (9) of the bit. The movement of the axial element exerts a mechanical pressure on the ring of the other part of the drive lug when acted on by a key which is fully pushed into place.

Abstract: An intralumenal implant material, which comprises, a polymer having a sol-gel transition temperature in an aqueous solution thereof, shows a substantial water-insolubility at a temperature higher than the sol-gel transition temperature, and shows a thermo-reversible water-solubility at a temperature lower than the sol-gel transition temperature. Such an intralumenal implant is capable to be endovascularly or percutaneuosly delivered into a vascular lumen in a liquid state at the temperature lower than the sol-gel transition temperature, is capable to be instantly converted into a gel state in the vascular lumen at the blood temperature higher than the sol-gel transition temperature and is capable of occluding aneurysms, vascular tumors or vascular malformation. Such intralumenal implant material shows excellent biocompatibility and mechanical matching for the vascular tissue and the surrounding tissue because it is a highly water-containing hydrogel. In addition, biologically active substances for promoting a prompt neo-endothelium formation and/or endothelialization can be easily incorporated into such an intralumenal implant material.
