Abstract:
Incised wounds were made in rabbits, and some of the wounds were dressed with chitosan, and others with gauze. After bleeding stopped, hemoglobin in dressings was measured to determine the hemostaic effect. Wounds were redressed, and healing process was studied histologically. The results showed that less Hb was detected in chitosandressing than in gauze. On day 9 after wounding, the content of granulation tissue and collagen formation in the chitosan dressed wounds was more than that in Vaseline gauze dressed group. It suggests that chitosan dressing is effective in hemostasis for incised wounds and may be helpful in wound healing process.
