Abstract
The main aim of this work is to study healing activity of deep cut and cutaneous wounds with naturally treated wound dressings. Cotton gauze and cotton nonwoven wound dressings were treated with extracts prepared from the leaves of VitexNegundo (Nochi leaves) by various extraction methods. The wound dressings were tested for their antimicrobial property and the rate of wound healing activity. Both the cotton nonwoven wound dressings treated with the aqueous and heated aqueous extracts were found to have superior antibacterial activity. The cotton nonwoven wound dressings with aqueous extracts of leaves showed a greater wound healing rate among all the samples. This present study thus offers an effective way to manage deep cut and cutaneous wounds with the help of active wound dressing and the traditional plant.
Keywords: Wound, Wound Dressings, Rate of Wound Healing, Nonwoven, Gauze, Extraction.
