The Zip® Surgical Skin Closure and PreLoc Wound Closure devices have seen significant adoption in key surgical procedures such as total joint replacement and limb salvage. In addition to the economic benefits these devices provide to the hospital and clinic, the high degree of patient satisfaction they engender has created word of mouth that often drives a patient’s friends and family to request ZipLine devices for their next surgery.
“Adoption of the Zip device in our procedures represents the cutting edge of surgery. Orthopedic patients are becoming more and more educated on the products and techniques that offer the best surgical outcomes, and come to the table expecting these from their surgeon,” said Robert C. Marchand, MD, orthopedic surgeon and robotic joint replacement expert in Wakefield, Rhode Island. “The Zip enables us to provide patients with a more comfortable recovery and better cosmetic outcome, while reducing surgical procedure time and patient complications that add costs to the healthcare system. We have found the Zip to be fast, reliable and cost-effective, and our patients love it.”
