Two recent clinical studies from ZipLine Medical showed that its surgical wound closure system demonstrated improvements in both patient outcomes and overall costs compared to surgical staples.

The company’s Zip device is used to help close and hold together the outer skin after deeper layers of sutures are applied within a surgical incision. Its non-invasive, flexible design aims to minimize scarring compared to staples, sutures or glue, while the wound heals following a procedure.

In one study of patients receiving same-day replacements of both knees, participants demonstrated greater ranges of motion in the two weeks following the procedure and reported less pain from the knee closed with the Zip device compared to the knee closed with staples. Additionally, a blinded panel of plastic surgeons noted improvements in scar quality, according to ZipLine.
