The various sizes and proportions for the fastener will vary based on the application. For example, in one embodiment, depending on the application, leg depth ranges from 2 mm to 7 mm and the body thickness may range from 0.5-5 mm. Further for example, in many applications, such as for use in the mid and fore regions of the hands and feet, a fastener may advantageously have a leg depth of 2.5-4.5 mm and a body thickness of 0.5-1.5 mm. The ratio of leg depth to body thickness may range from 14:1 to 1.5:1. In one embodiment, the ratio ranges from 5:1 to 3:1.
