About

TAS Medical is a Windermere, Florida medical device company that has developed the Trans Abdominal Strap (TAS), a tissue approximation system for closing abdominal wall defects. Instead of sutures, the system uses implantable surgical-grade zip straps to approximate tissue and produce a full-thickness fascial closure through a laparoscopic port. The company's aim is to make ventral hernia repairs reproducible enough to be done minimally invasively rather than open, and to reduce reliance on surgical mesh. It was founded in 2017 by Michael Tozzi, Albert K. Chin and Thomas A. Kramer, and holds a portfolio of US patents issued between 2015 and 2024.

A zip-strap implant that delivers reproducible full-thickness abdominal wall closure through the narrow working channel of laparoscopic surgery - the step that today forces most ventral hernia repairs to be done open, or to leave the defect bridged by a large piece of mesh.
