Procedure

JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing is an advanced microcurrent-generating dressing for the management of surgical incision sites. 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. These microcell batteries create microcurrents to support the body's natural electrical healing process and provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing. JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing has demonstrated broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours.1-3

JumpStart® FlexEFit™ antibacterial wound dressing employs a novel “link and build” design, enabling it to be “built” during application to seamlessly cover incisions of virtually any length or curvature with just one product configuration. JumpStart dressings can be applied directly over sutures, staples, Steri-Strip™ wound closures, and liquid skin adhesives. The dot-matrix pattern of embedded microcell batteries generates microcurrents on the dressing surface in the presence of a conductive medium such as sterile saline, water-based gel, or wound exudate.&nbsp;

JumpStart® FlexEFit® Antibacterial Wound Dressing

The Arthrex JumpStart Antibacterial Wound Dressing utilizes a patented technology of embedded silver and zinc islands that, when hydrated, generate a physiological microcurrent through the dressing. The presence of the microcurrent has been demonstrated in studies to promote an optimal environment for wound healing applied to the surgical site, either before and or after surgery, to help reduce the risk of infection. Jumpstart has been proven to kill a broad spectrum of microbes, including microbes that have been shown to be resistant to antibiotics for spine surgery. The JumpStart FlexEFit provides the optimal solution for wound covering, as the dressing can be joined together based on the length of the patient's incision. Start by hydrating the FlexEFit dressing with Energel wound hydrogel. Remove the liners labeled one and place on top of the proximal portion of the incision. Make sure to press down gently on dressing to ensure direct contact of the pad with the incision. For incision lengths that require more than one FlexEFit dressing. Additional dressings can be attached in a daisy chain fashion, accommodating incisions for all lengths. To link an additional FlexEFit dressing to the first fold, back the liner labeled two. Repeat adding Energel to the second dressing. Remove the liners labeled one and place on top of the distal portion of the first dressing. Make sure to press down gently on the dressing to ensure direct contact of the pad with the incision. The previous steps can be repeated as many times as necessary until the full length of the incision is covered. Once linking the dressings together is complete, fold back the liner labeled two on the second dressing and remove the liner labeled with numbers three, four, and five. Affix this adhesive layer down onto the skin once smoothed down. Remove the blue tabs to remove the backing. Repeat the same steps with any additional dressings. Jumpstart is ideal for dressing any type of surgical site wound with size offerings that can cover an endoscopic approach portal all the way up to a T2 pelvis incision. Examples of surgical approach incisions were JumpStart can be used as a wound dressing are acdf, pqf, plif, tlif, leaf olef, aliff, and deformity correction.
