Ziptek received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the ZipE® knotless tissue repair and attachment device.
The absorbable button works like a zip-tie, obviating the need to make knots in small spaces, and is designed to disperse pressure across a large surface area and prevent the suture from tearing through tissue.
Internal testing results indicate that ZipE may offer improved healing rates by providing the most resistance to rip-through, the least gap formation, the most contact surface area and homogeneous contact pressures.
