Provided is an implant system (10) for occlusion of vascular anomalies comprising an elongated delivery means (20) and a medical device (30) for release within the vasculature of a patient wherein the elongated delivery means has proximal and distal ends and at least a first electrical conducting means (21) and wherein said elongated delivery means includes an insulated conductive transport wire (25) as first electrical conducting means. The proximal end of the medical device is formed from the distal end of the transport wire and the insulated conductive transport wire terminates as a non-insulated sacrificial segment (26) proximal to the medical device. Further, the medical device is releasable from the elongated delivery means by applying electrical power to the first electrical conducting means such that current flows through the said sacrificial segment to an electrical grounding means to electrolytically degrade said sacrificial element releasing the medical device. Thus, the present invention has the advantage that the proximal end of the medical device is formed from the distal end of the transport wire which thus forms an element of an articulating junction. The present invention also provides a method for releasing a medical device within the vasculature of a patient using the implant system.
