Medical Device Fasteners and Components for Hospital Equipment Manufacturing 

Washers and other medical device fasteners must be able to absorb shock and vibration, prevent bolt creep and bolt yield, and differential thermal expansion. They are used in a variety of hospital equipment manufacturing including the production of surgical instruments, X-ray equipment, electro-medical equipment, and more.

Washers for Medical Applications

Washers are commonly used within the medical community for several types of applications. Though small, they play a critical role by securing bolts and other threaded inserts that are used to hold medical equipment together. Solon’s heavy-duty washers provide long-lasting tight connections. Gasketed joints often loosen with time, so it is important to have a washer that provides a high degree of dependability. If a medical device fastener fails, the equipment can also fail, which is especially problematic in medical applications.
 
Solon Manufacturing Co. provides reliable solutions to the hospital equipment manufacturing industry with thousands of different washer options, including Belleville Spring Washers and flat washers, for unique medical device or cleanroom needs. Other benefits of Solon’s medical device fasteners include:

• No deformation or fatigue under normal conditions
• Predictable load-deflection
• Absorbs shock
• Compensates for vibration
• Maintains bolt preload
