Carboxymethylcellulose scaffolds for treatment of partial thickness burn wound - the aspects of wound moist regulation, bacterial burden control and tocotrienol therapeutic / Nor Amlizan Ramli

Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) is widely used in the design of wound dressing owing to its high water bonding capacity, good compatibility with skin and mucous membrane, biocompatibility and abundant availability at a low cost. This study aims to design drug-free (low (LV), medium (MV) and hig...

HV scaffold possessed the highest tensile strength of all matrices and was resistant to erosion in simulated wound fluid.

HV scaffold was also found to protect moisture loss with minimal accumulation at wound bed thus promoted reepithelialisation process. Transepidermal water movement wound healing by scaffolds was governed by SCMC molecular weight instead of its carboxymethyl substitution degree or matrix pore size distribution. In infected partial thickness wound, in vitro polymer characteristics, microstructure, gelling, bioadhesiveness, microbial inhibitory, in vivo microbe-colonized wound healing, microbe removal and infection control properties were examined against Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
