Abstract

Comparative evaluation for wound healing potentials of bulk and nano forms of zinc oxide ointment

Highlights

  • During the last few years, nanotechnology has become an emergent interdisciplinary field of research by combining the material science, bio-nanoscience, and technology

  • It might be concluded that topical application of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (2 %) caused faster wound healing and the healing was better than bulk ZnO treatment, even at ten-fold lower concentration

  • The average size of chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles obsereved in Zetasizer was 125.64 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.424

Summary

Introduction

During the last few years, nanotechnology has become an emergent interdisciplinary field of research by combining the material science, bio-nanoscience, and technology. It has been considered as the technological innovation of the 21st century. Nanotechnology has shown tremendous broad application in many fields, including medicine This technology has become the forefront of research and possesses tremendous potential to revolutionize the medical sector. The innovative and impressive development of nanotechnology has led to massive growth in the direction of nano-drug delivery systems for wound healing and skin regeneration. Nanoparticles of metals and their oxides have emerged in recent years with a broad range of applications in biomedical field. Some studies have revealed the wound healing of many compounds, including metals and their oxides. The present study was planned to evaluate the wound healing potential of ZnO nanoparticles in comparison to its bulk form
