JumpStart dressings are provided on an ultra-thin, lightweight, polyester substrate and contain laser-cut fenestrations to allow easy passage of wound exudate into the absorbent layer or a secondary dressing. The flexible design easily contours to the body. JumpStart dressings may be applied directly over sutures, staples, Steri-Strip wound closure strips and liquid skin adhesives. The dot matrix pattern of embedded microcell batteries generates micro currents on the dressing surface in the presence of a conductive medium, such as sterile saline, water-based gel or wound exudate.
