ABSTRACT:
An improved machine for applying surgical implements to handles comprising a fluent actuated power cylinder with a moveable rod having a distal end. A handle holder is secured to the distal end. The handle holder has a handle cavity therein for holding a surgical implement handle. The handle has an implement stud opening extending axially of the machine. An implement holder having a tool cavity therein for holding a surgical implement with a handle stud facing the stud opening on the machine axis is provided. A stud heater and a stud temperature sensor and a control unit are operatively connected together such that when the control unit is actuated, the stud heater will heat the tool handle stud to a predetermined stud temperature sensed by the sensor which activates the power cylinder to force the handle within the handle holder onto the tool stud and to position the tool stud in the opening of the handle whereby the handle is secured to the tool implement in a manner whereby the tool and handle may be autoclaved repetitively without predetermined failing of the handle.
