JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing is an advanced microcurrent-generating dressing used for the management of surgical incision sites.
• Broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, including against multi-drug-resistant and biofilm-forming bacteria
• Conforms to wound site
• Cut to fit
• Microcell batteries made of elemental silver and zinc generate an electrical current when activated by conductive fluids, such as wound exudate, water-based wound hydrogels, saline or water
• Creates microcurrents to support the body's natural electrical healing process and to provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing
• Demonstrated broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours
JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing is intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and is indicated for partial- and full-thickness wounds such as pressure injuries, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first- and second-degree burns, surgical incisions and donor and recipient graft sites.
Do not use on individuals with sensitivity or allergy to silver or zinc.
Caution: United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Single use only.
Frequent or prolonged use of this product may result, on rare occasions, in temporary discoloration of the skin.
Electron beam irradiation-sterilized. Opening the dressing pack compromises the sterile barrier. Do not use if the pouch is open or damaged prior to use.
Remove JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing dressing prior to an MRI or HBOT procedure, and apply a new dressing after the procedure.
For external use only.
Do not apply JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing dressing in conjunction with topical agents such as antimicrobial ointments, enzymatic debriders, antibiotic creams or ointments, silver- or zinc-containing creams, oxidizing agents or petroleum-based products.
Secondary dressings should be used as stated in their Instructions for Use.
The patient should stop using the dressing and consult a physician if allergy, irritation, increased pain, maceration or any irregular skin discoloration occurs.
JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing is not intended to be used on wounds with uncontrolled bleeding.
Remove JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing dressing during energy-based procedures (those using radiofrequency, ultrasound or radiation) where the dressing may interfere with delivery.
Avoid direct dressing contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements (e.g., EEG or ECG).
JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing may be used on infected wounds being clinically managed, as an adjunct to the local clinical protocol.
The safety of daily JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing use for longer than 28 days has not been studied.
Adverse effects/reactions include, but are not limited to, allergic reaction to silver or zinc. Dressing may adhere to wound site if dry.
Store in dry conditions at room temperature. Protect from light.

1. Cleanse the wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser according to local clinical protocol.
2. Remove JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing from package and, if needed, cut to a shape that will extend beyond wound edges 1cm to 2cm (1/2" to 1"). Caution: cutting may result in fraying of the dressing.
3. Moisten JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with sterile saline, water or a thin, even layer of water-based hydrogel (not included).
4. Apply JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with the dotted side down, in direct contact with the wound.
5. Cover JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with an appropriate secondary sterile dressing to help maintain a moist wound environment. If needed, secure in place with an additional fixation dressing, using care not to restrict blood flow. The choice of secondary dressing should be determined by the amount of wound exudate, for example:
• For dry wounds: waterproof, semi-permeable or hydrogel-like dressings are recommended to ensure prolonged moisture.
• For exuding wounds: cover JumpStart® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing with layer(s) of sterile gauze or foam dressing to absorb excessive moisture and prevent maceration. Then apply a semi-permeable or hydrogel-like dressing.
6. Keep the dressing moist by re-moistening as necessary. Avoid over-soaking. Example:
• Dry wounds may require more frequent dressing re-moistening.
• Exuding wounds may require dressing re-moistening only if exudate decreases and the dressing becomes dry.
Change the dressing according to institution protocol, as needed (when the dressing becomes soiled or after seven days of use).
