ABSTRACT:
A method of cold staking a scalpel blade to a scalpel handle wherein the blade has a key slot complementarily configured to a projecting boss formed on the end of the blade handle. The boss has two elements at its opposite ends which project beyond an intermediate portion. When cold staked, the material of the projecting portions flows over the outside surface of the blade to secure the blade to the handle at those points where loading of the blades is anticipated to be a maximum whereas the intermediate portion of the blade receives the boss, which boss is not cold staked at that area to the blade. The handle is formed of a polypropylene having a filler of 25-35% by weight of talc.
