I looked at some equipment with Hospital Grade cable plugs. These plugs had solid blades; no holes at all. And the blades were much more rigid, with slightly larger thickness and width than a standard plug (subjective, since I didn't have a caliper with me). I would think that this would create higher contact pressure with the female socket elements when mated. Also, the blades had what appeared to be a nickel plate finish.
