Ask on news:sci.electronics.design. There are some people there that work in medical electronics design.
Doesn't ring a bell here. It almost looks like a custom order design. The only ZIF connector type we used and occasionally still use is the ITT/Cannon style with sideways-engaging contacts. Nowadays I try to stay away from expensive specialty connectors.
Richard, if you absolutely need this style you could send the picture to several large manufacturers such as Tyco.
