ZIPTEK LLC

ZIPTEK LLC is a medical device manufacturer based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in innovative orthopedic soft tissue repair technology. The company's flagship product, ZipE® BioLock™, is a resorbable, knotless tissue fixation system designed to synchronize with natural tissue healing across multiple joints and surgical indications. ZipE® technology features a unique zip-tie–like locking mechanism that minimizes rip-through and gap formation while gradually resorbing to allow complete tissue remodeling. FDA 510(k) cleared in March 2017 for 24 surgical indications across five major joints (shoulder, knee, elbow, foot & ankle, wrist), including rotator cuff repair, labral repair, MCL repair, triceps avulsion, Achilles reattachment, and TFCC repair. Also holds COFEPRIS approval in Mexico and regulatory authorization in the UAE. DoD and NATO vendor-approved. Founded by board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. William F. Bennett, who invented the technology after recognizing unmet needs in conventional tissue repair. Company achieved commercialization for under $3M and has documented over 500 surgeries across three countries with minimal adverse events and zero revision surgeries to date. Clinical validation spans four years across multiple institutions including AdventHealth, Tampa General Hospital, University of Miami Health System, Indiana Health, and Universal Health Services.
