OK so the question is the contact surface on these agraffes appear to be flat and not radiused. While I've not looked at them under the microscope then do you radius the contact surface the same way you do the normal agraffes? If so, what method do you use to radius the contact area since you can't use the same methods of reaming an enclosed surface?

They are as easily removable as normal agraffes. In a message dated 11/27/2009 10:37:14 A.M.
