Development of polyurethane foam dressing containing silver and asiaticoside for healing of dermal wound

In conclusion, this innovative foam dressing had potential to be a good candidate for wound treatment.Graphical abstractThe developed foam dressing consisted of three parts; natural polyols, silver nanoparticles and asiaticoside. Adding the natural polyols in polyurethane foam preparation was to increase hydrophilic properties and their characteristics were evaluated. The silver and asiaticoside were then impregnated and their releasing profiles were determined. The animal studies were performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the prepared foam dressings.
