Abstract
A fastener system and procedure to secure a member in a medium. The system includes a tool to deliver both the member and a flowable, curable polymer onto, into or through the medium. The flowable polymer is injected into, through or around the member. As the flowable polymer cures, it acts as either a solid filler or as an adhesive to provide fixation for the member, or to enhance fixation of the member.
