Preparation and Evaluation of Chitosan/PVA Based Hydrogel Films Loaded with Honey for Wound Healing Application

Hitesh Chopra et al.

Summary: In this study, chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based hydrogel films loaded with honey were developed for potential wound healing applications. The films were evaluated for their physical and mechanical properties, as well as their antimicrobial performance against Staphylococcus aureus. The results demonstrated the potential of these films as wound dressings and suggested the need for further in vivo experiments to evaluate their clinical efficacy.
