SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 25, 2023 — Ziptek LLC, a Sarasota-based company specializing in knotless tissue repair and attachment solution devices for surgeons, has returned from a successful equity offering presentation at the prestigious New York Venture Forum held at the Javits Center in Manhattan.
Dr William F Bennett MD, the founder of Ziptek, led the delegation. Ziptek has developed a locking resorbable suture button repair system that overcomes present problems with suture loop technology, which, and with especially rotator cuff repairs, has a high re-tear or non-healing rate. The forum featured three halls solely dedicated to the Medtech sector, emphasizing the importance and potential of this rapidly evolving field.

Strong Competition in the Medtech Sector
The competition at the forum was intense, with seasoned executives from international powerhouses such as Medtronics and Boston Scientific presenting on behalf of companies with a broad range of innovative products.

Positive Reception and Promising Leads
Despite this formidable competition, Ziptek LLC was not only noticed but also lauded for its innovative approach. The company was seeking an investment of $1.5 million, while numerous other companies in the same category were seeking $10 million or more. Ziptek received multiple compliments from seasoned presenters and gained significant international leads.
“We are honored to have participated in the New York Venture Forum,” said Dr. William F. Bennett. “The positive reception Ziptek received amid such esteemed competition speaks volumes about the potential impact of our devices in the healthcare industry.”
