Group D	29.70 ± 8.07	61.26 ± 11.18	80.38 ± 3.20	93.19 ± 4.53
Group E	14.32 ± 8.80	49.71 ± 15.83	84.76 ± 2.04	87.27 ± 3.64

Values (expressed in mean ± SD) tensile strength. Where, Group A: Test treatment group (Silver nanoparticles 0.1 mg g⁻¹). Group B: Test treatment group (Silver nanoparticles 0.5 mg g⁻¹). Group C: Test treatment group (Silver nanoparticles 1 mg g⁻¹). Group D: Positive control (market drug silverex 0.2%). Group E: Group treated with gel base. Group F: Negative control (untreated group).

Bold values are of maximum contraction of wound as compared to other treatments.
