Composite with Silver Nanoparticles and Oregano Essential Oil-Loaded Nanoparticles Intended for Wound Healing.

Purpose: Since wounds are a primary source of infection, it is desirable to have a wound dressing that prevents infectious processes during the tissue regeneration phase. In this regard, silver nanoparticles, oregano essential oil, and chitosan have been utilized due to their antimicrobial activity. This work focused on the preparation of a composite containing these three components, intended to provide protection for wounds, especially by exerting antimicrobial effects.
