ZipLine Medical

ZipLine Medical was a U.S. medical device company focused on non-invasive skin closure products for surgical incisions and lacerations. Its core commercial product line was the Zip surgical skin closure family, designed to provide suture-like wound approximation without skin puncture and with faster application than traditional sutures. The company positioned its technology around improved cosmesis, lower wound tension, and easier post-operative recovery. ZipLine Medical operated as a medtech company rather than a therapeutics developer, so it did not have a drug pipeline in the biotech sense. The company was acquired by Stryker in 2019, and the Zip skin closure product line continues under Stryker.
