Microcurrent Dressing to Treat Infections, Before, During and After Surgery

"JumpStart™ is a wireless, advanced microcurrent generating, dressing used for the management of surgical incision sites. Microcell batteries made of silver and zinc, generate an electrical current when activated by conductive fluids, such as saline, hydrogel or wound exudate. These microcells create low voltage electrical fields to stimulate the surrounding area and to provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing. JumpStart has demonstrated superior broad spectrum bactericidal activity of a wound dressing against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours.~It will be applied pre-op in all patients and post operatively in group B"

This is a standard of care bandage that will be placed on participants in group A post operatively
