Abstract

The role of nano crystalline silver solution in the treatment of wounds has been widely used owing to its role in decreasing pain levels during dressing changes, decreasing the frequency of dressing changes, reducing wound exudate and bioburden levels, promoting wound healing in chronic wounds, decreasing the matrix metalloproteinase activity & its cost effectiveness. Plenty of evidence is available regarding the same in literature. Here, in our study, we are evaluating the efficacy of use of nano crystalline solution in the treatment of adult thermal burns.

Keywords : Nano crystalline silver solution, Adult thermal burns.
