About Ziptek

Ziptek is transforming the $3.8B soft tissue repair market with the ZipE BioLock System, a patented, bioresorbable surgical implant. Our FDA-cleared device has already enhanced outcomes for over 400 patients by improving tendon-to-bone healing, eliminating suture loops, and accelerating recovery times by up to 40%. ZipE offers a faster, safer, and more efficient alternative to traditional sutures, reducing surgical time by up to 50%.

To guide strategic business decisions, drive commercialization, and position Ziptek for accelerated growth as we expand into new markets, we’re forming a Physician Community.
