Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to study wound healing potential of Ropan tail. 12 male wistar rats were taken, divided in two groups, 6 rats per group Control (Normal saline) and Ropan tail. The nape of neck was shaved, they were starved overnight and on next day surgical intervention under general anesthesia was done. 500 mm2 excisional wound, circular in shape was created with scalpel blade. Topical application of test drug that is Ropan tail and control was done since next day of wounding. Wound was traced with polythene paper and area was measured with help of planimeter on 6th day, 10th day, 12th day and 14th day. Two parameters were studied viz; wound contraction and period of epithelization. Ropan tail has shown statistically signfiicant difference in wound contraction compared to control, period of epithelization was reduced by ropan tail significantly compared to control.
