  • The Guar gum Biopolymer Nanocomposite helps to cure with the wound tissues with total protein, DNA, and hydroxyproline contentsas compared with the silver alginate cream.
  • Further, to promote wound closure by inducing proliferation and migration of the keratinocytes at the wound site nanobiomaterial was been observed. Additionally the gum matrix provided a hydrated surface which was necessary for cell proliferation.
  • For cellular massaging and hydrated surface Polysaccharides or their derivatives can be used in ideal conditions for enhancing with the wound healing process.
  • There are silver containing drugs available in the market which are applied on different types of wounds and helps to cure them soon.
  •  This silver containing drug is rich in antimicrobial potentials which help with the healing of the wound faster.
  • A new substance is been developed with Guar Gum. It is basically been made of two substances- Guar Gum and Fish Collagen. Guar gum, when chemically been treated with the laboratory reagent form the drug ceftazidime. It was been scientifically tested and found that it helps in killing bacteria without affecting with the other cells of the body. When applied on wound, it will inhibit the bacterial growth with its antimicrobial property.
  • This antimicrobial property will help healing of wound faster.
