JumpStart® FlexEFit® Antibacterial Wound Dressing

JumpStart® FlexEFit® antibacterial wound dressing may be used for sternal closure as well as other cardiothoracic incisions. The patented design enables it to link and build to fit virtually any incision length and curvature. JumpStart is exclusively powered by V.Dox™ Technology, the only non-antibiotic, antibacterial technology that is inspired by the skin’s natural electrical healing process with demonstrated antibacterial impact against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant and biofilm-forming bacteria.1-5
