Effectiveness of silver nanoparticles as antibacterial agents with natural wound healing cream with extracted Aloe vera gel

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The areas of medicine and pharmaceuticals are on the cusp of experiencing a revolution because of the arrival of a plethora of new materials and methods made possible by nanotechnology. A number of subfields within the medical care industry are already reaping the benefits of the opportunities presented by nanotechnology. The potential biological features of silver nanoparticles include antibacterial activity, anti-inflammatory effects, and wound healing effectiveness. Gel is the mucilaginous jelly extracted from the Aloe vera plant's parenchyma cells, which might be used in the development of improved dressings for wounds and ulcers. It has recently been drawing attention due to its therapeutic application. This is due to the fact that silver nanoparticles have been shown to have antibacterial activity. This article discusses the function that silver nanoparticles play in the healing process of wounds.
