Why I use Zip:

I use zip line for several reasons. It gives me a consistent closure that is strong and tolerates normal joint movement. It is easy to use and saves time in the operating room. My patients are happy with the cosmetic results and ease of removal. It is a significant improvement over staples and more consistent that subcuticular suture closure.
