INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF BIOACTIVE GAUZE DRESSING IMPREGNATED WITH HERB-LOADED NANOPARTICLES IN FACILITATING WOUND HEALING
REFNo: HS1393ES

The main aim of this work is to functionalise the gauze dressing using herb loaded nanoparticles to enable faster wound healing in excision wound models established in rats.

Specific objectives
1) To determine the antibacterial activity of Bidens pilosa L., Hoslundia opposita Vahl and Ageratum conyzoides L., plant extracts.
2) To determine the effect of the most efficacious antibacterial herbal extract on wound healing rate using excision wound models in rats.
3) To determine the effect of nano encapsulation of the herbal extract using biopolymers, on its antibacterial activity and wound healing rate.
4) To evaluate the effect of incorporating herb loaded nanoparticles into the gauze dressing on its antibacterial activity and wound healing rate.
5) To assess the effect of the herb loaded nanoparticles on the performance characteristic of the gauze dressing.
