Device sutures tissues quickly and durably

Logan, UT-MedicineLodge, Inc. has received FDA clearance to market its new ZipKnot suture fastener. Used with a standard knot pusher, the device approximates and/or ligates soft tissue using surgical suture.

The product is currently under development for use in an array of surgical procedures.
