Zip Skin Closure

Zip is a non-invasive skin closure device for surgical incisions and lacerations. It's designed to distribute strain along the incision. This helps reduce wound complications[1,2], saving you cost and time.[3,5]

Zip’s benefits aren’t only limited to healthcare providers. The puncture-free skin closure method also leads to greater patient satisfaction.[6] This means less pain, a greater range of motion during recovery, and reduced scarring.[7,8]
