JumpStart™ Antimicrobial Wound Dressings with Advanced Microcurrent TechnologyTM are an entirely new
solution for wound and surgical incision care. JumpStart’s proprietary islands of elemental silver and zinc
form microcell batteries. In the presence of a conductive medium5 they generate electricity, which supports
the body’s natural electrical healing process. JumpStart provides antimicrobial protection against a broad
spectrum of microbes, including harmful multi-drug resistant and biofilm-forming pathogens.1,3,6

Live/dead fluorescence staining demonstrates bacterial
killing of P. aeruginosa within JumpStart compared to a
standard silver-based dressing at 24 hours. Red = dead
Green = alive3
