The field of wound healing has seen an increase in research activity care and hydrogel-based dressings have been targeted as a solution for these applications. Hydrogels with silver nanoparticles can present many advantages this field. However, if the aggregation sterilization product not carefully considered, effectiveness or use could be limited. Therefore, current study, dressing membrane was developed using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG), agar, carboxymethyl...

Hydrogel dressings are crosslinked hydrophilic polymers able of swelling in presence water and can be used many different types wound care. In turn, care, silver has been for a long time as an effective antimicrobial agent. Recent studies have demonstrated increase its action when it is at nanometer scale, that is, nanoparticles (AgNPs), which anti-inflammatory effect on infected wounds, rashes, mesh skin grafts. The objective this work was to study hydrogel containing AgNPs from nitrate,...
