Abstract

Wound repair was a complex process requiring coordination of cascade of cellular responses to injury including inflammation, epithelialization, proliferation, angiogenesis and remodelling (Barrientoset al. 2008). A major drawback in conventional dressing materials, mainly composed of gauze, is the adherence between the fibers of the gauze materials and the tissue. Separation between the dressing material and the tissue becomes very difficult (Lin et al., 2000). In large wound cases if required donor site is not available, biomaterials like synthetic ornatural polymers and their composites can be used for temporary closure of wounds (Babuet al., 1996). Fibroin protein was known for wound dressing by regulating exudates of wound providing moist environment facilitated re-epithelialization, re-modelling of connective tissues and collagenisation (Teramotoet al. 2008). This study is done to assess the clinical outcome of silk fibroin loaded silver nanoparticle gel on wound healing in threeLabrador retriever dogs.
