Summary: | Utilization of some herbal products in wound dressing for rapid healing with no side effects is a highly interesting task. The present paper offers the use of
Aloe vera
extract in nanocapsules on cotton fabric for wound healing with antimicrobial properties. A simultaneous encapsulation of
Aloe vera
extract and stabilization method was carried out on the cotton fabric. FESEM images indicated successful formation of nanocapsules on the cotton fabric with spherical shape and average size of 55-70 nm. The cotton fabric loaded with Tragacanth nanocapsules containing
Aloe vera
extract showed relatively good antibacterial and antifungal activities with microbial reduction of 75 ± 0.1, 80 ± 0.1 and 81 ± 0.1% against
E. coli
,
S. aureus
and
C. albicans
, respectively. Also, the treated fabric is suitable for wound dressing application due to good wound healing effects with migration rate of 88% after 24 h.
Utilization of some herbal products in wound dressing for rapid healing with no side effects is a highly interesting task. |
