ABSTRACT:
Chronic wound infections are significant medical burden as the patients have to go through severe discomfort and distress. Invasion of various pathogenic microorganisms at the injured site further leads to damage of tissue which may results in resection of the organ. Appropriate wound healing is necessary to regain the functional and anatomical status of the damaged tissue that got disturbed due to wound. Conventional antibiotics used for the treatment of infections are associated with various drawbacks such as high cost and high incidence of resistance. Moreover, the dressing used for wounds are also unable to provide adequate moisture to the injured tissue. All these factors emphasise on the development of new advanced technologies for wound care. Polyherbal formulations, which comprise of various medicinal plant extracts, exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can be much better alternative to commercial antibiotics for treatment of wound infections. In the present study, wound healing potential of “Septaheal” (a Polyherbal formulation) was evaluated in Wistar albino rats using incision, excision and burn wound models. The formulation exhibited wound healing property due to its angiogenic and mitogenic potential.
