Abstract
Wound healing is a critical physiological process that involves complex cellular and molecular interactions. Hydrogel-based nanobandages have emerged as promising result for wound care due to their biocompatibility, moisture-retention capacity, and tunable mechanical properties. This article focuses on the development and characterization of bagasse-based hydrogel nanobandages as innovative wound dressings. Bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing, is rich in cellulose and can serve as an eco-friendly and cost-effective source for hydrogel synthesis. Accumulation of large quantities of sugarcane bagasse as agriculture waste leads to complex waste problems which had been a challenge in the synthesis of cellulose hydrogel. Burns and skin wounds require special care and treatment because the body skin is the first defense barrier against pathogens therefore quick and suitable treatment of wound is very important. Using nanotechnology wound dressing can be developed for types of wounds in the present scenario the bandages manufactured are a product of plastic causing various side effects on skin and body causing damages and infections and it even is not environment friendly so to overcome all these challenges using nanotechnology a new bagasse based hydrogel nano bandages are produced which are ecofriendly has polyherbal drug which rapids the speed of wound healing gives cooling effect as hydrogel is used.
