Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Incorporated in Poly-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate/Acrylamide Membrane Trigger the Key Events of Full-Thickness Wound Healing in a Rabbit Model.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles are known to possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties and find wide application in the preparation of topical ointments. Wound dressings in the form of hydrogels can replenish the wound microenvironment to aid the healing process in a multidimensional way. We have fabricated a composite hydrogel using 1-3 wt.
