Fixnip is an Israeli medical device company founded in 2014 by Daniel Korkos, who also serves as the CTO. The firm operates in the health tech and life sciences sector, focusing on developing solutions for the aesthetic and reconstructive surgery market. David Mizrachin leads the company as CEO. In a significant milestone, Fixnip received a substantial grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in late 2023, prompting the relocation of its headquarters from Israel to Houston, Texas, to further its clinical studies in the US.
The company's core business revolves around the design, development, and sale of hypodermic nipple implants for women. Its flagship product, the FixNip Nipple Reconstruction Implant (NRI), is engineered to address the challenges of Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) reconstruction, particularly for women who have undergone a mastectomy. The product also serves patients seeking repair for inverted nipples or aesthetic enhancement. The business model is centered on selling these specialized medical devices to healthcare providers and plastic surgeons who perform these procedures.
The FixNip NRI is a hypodermic, silicone-based implant built on a patented, floral-shaped nitinol frame. This composition is designed to provide a durable, long-lasting structure that maintains projection while remaining soft and natural to the touch, addressing a common failure point in traditional reconstruction methods. The implant is inserted via a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in an outpatient setting in approximately 15-20 minutes under local anesthesia. The device has secured CE marking, permitting its sale and distribution in the European Union, and is also under FDA review. GC Aesthetics, a medical technology company, has partnered with Fixnip to launch and distribute the product in European and other international markets.
