Red Ivy Wound Pad

Context:

JNTBGRI researchers have developed an innovative nanomaterial-based wound-healing pad using acteoside extracted from red ivy.

Scientific Innovation & R&D:

The development combines traditional medicinal knowledge with modern nanotechnology (electrospunnanofibres) to create a multifunctional wound-healing pad.

Phytochemical Significance:

Acteoside, a bioactive molecule newly linked to red ivy, exhibits high therapeutic efficacy even at low concentrations (0.2%).

Nanotechnology Application:

Electrospunnano-fibre layers facilitate gas exchange, enhance wound healing, and are biodegradable and non-toxic.

Pharmaceutical Integration:

The pad incorporates neomycin sulfate with FDA-approved polymers, showing a fusion of plant-based and conventional medicine.

Healthcare Implications:

Potential for cost-effective, efficient, and eco-friendly wound care solutions, especially in rural and urban healthcare systems.
