TY - JOUR TI - Development and study of textile-based hydrogel wound dressing material AU - MICHAEL, RODRIGUES AU - GOVINDHARAJAN , THILAGAVATI T2 - Industria Textila AB - In this article, the developed textile-based hydrogel dressing is seen to be effective in terms of its exudates management capacity, strength, elongation and water vapours permeability. The usage of active antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent i.e., Usnic acid, has given it a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and antibiofilm property. The combination of these properties makes this dressing a better choice for the management of wounds especially chronic wounds that are infected with biofilm. The design of the experiment (BBD) used in this study is able to point at the optimal combination of the materials for the construction of such hydrogel dressings and understand the contribution of each factor used in the study.
