Table 2.

Effect of BC/BS biocomposite and BC films on wound contraction and epithelization period in excision wound.

Group of animals	Wound size, mm
Group of animals	0^th day	3^rd day	5^th day	7^th day	14^th day	21^st day
I - BC/BS biocomposite	195 ± 3^a	83 ± 2^b	28 ± 5^c	0	0	0
II - BC film	188 ± 4^a	105 ± 7^b	53 ± 2^c	14 ± 2^c	0	0
III – Control (without treatment)	192 ± 5^a	175 ± 4^a	105 ± 7^a	64 ± 3^a	47 ± 2^a	3.2 ± 0.9^a

Note: Values are mean ± SEM (Percent) of 5 rats in each group. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, and ^cP < 0.001 compared to respective day control group (statistical analysis was done by one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's test for multiple comparisons).
