A REVIEW ON USE OF HERBAL PLANT SOURCES IN ADHESIVE BANDAGES FOR WOUND HEALING PROCESS

Wound is an anatomical and functional disruption of the skin which leads to an injury. In response to such injuries, wound healing is a complex process resulting in tissue repair or remodeling. In the present times, there are different types of pharmaceutical products such as synthetic adhesive/ non-adhesive bandages developed for economical, sustainable, stable, and effective delivery system for the treatment of wounds but may lead to side effects. Hence in order to overcome such problems, plant or plant derived products can be used. Historically, plants and plant derived constituents were been extensively utilized for the treatment and management of different types of wounds. The whole study gives precise data of such plants, by making them use in preparation of organic bandages and patches for treatment of wounds. The utilization of these plant derived extract can be more beneficial and effective which can be administered for injuries due to wounds either chronic or acute. Making appropriate use of herbal plants may lower the risk of adverse effects of synthetic forms and may also increase its mechanism of action for efficient tissue remodeling. The compiled data aims to provide the researchers/scientists a directional view in understanding the role and importance of plant-based formulations for the treatment and management of wounds and moving towards natural form of bandages for more efficiency and potency.
