Hospitals and Healthcare
Tamper-proof fasteners are regularly employed on medical equipment as well as for securing areas and property.
Some medical devices are costly and sensitive. With patients’ lives resting on properly functioning equipment, hospitals and medical facilities can’t afford the risk of tampering.
Securing fittings and fixtures securely also reduces the risk of self-harm or accidental injury.

Military
Tamper-evident fasteners are often used on Army, Navy and Air Force bases to protect facilities and equipment from sabotage or covert access.
Tamper evident fasteners act like a security seal, recording if the building has been breached or tampered with so it is evident upon inspection.
Go on the defensive with military-grade fixtures.
