Fastening Solutions for Medical Devices, By Christie L. Jones, Market Development Manager, SPIROL International Corporation, Danielson, CT, U.S.A.
Even though they tend to be the smallest components in the medical device, fasteners are usually the most important element of the assembly as they literally hold the entire unit together. When a fastener fails in a medical device, this usually means that the device will also fail. The correct fasteners ensure that the device goes together and stays together for the intended life of the assembly, and that the device performs as desired.
