Abstract

A Survey of WHO showed that the wound infections rates are 5 - 34% in the world. It is necessary to treat the wounds properly as it will cause more infection inside the skin. Usage of normal bandages for the treatment of wounds or infections can heal the outer surface of the skin that too by a slow process. Many researchers started investigating the different healing properties of plant based bandages. Silver nanoparticles are known for their efficient antibacterial properties. It has gained greater attention in the biomedical industries. In this study, the nanoparticles are synthesized by using environment friendly green synthesis method. Ceiba pentandra aqueous leaf extract was used as reducing and capping agent for the silver nanoparticle synthesis. It was then evenly coated on a bamboo fabric material and then assessed for its antibacterial activity by using quantitative method. It is less hazardous as no toxic chemicals are involved. The Antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles combined with the plant extract will exhibit efficient wound healing properties. The Bandage layer can further be designed to form a completely plant based product.
