Effect of silver nanogel on burn wound model (percentage wound contraction) in albino Wistar rats.

Groups	Days
	5th (% contraction)	10th (% contraction)	15th (% contraction)
Group A	33.61 ± 16.80	60.61 ± 5.82	92.79 ± 0.68
Group B	65.76 ± 30.15	82.13 ± 15.48	96.42 ±3.31
Group C	75.35 ± 21.69	82.07 ± 15.87	98.60 ±2.41
Group D	68.81 ± 27.02	81.23 ± 16.26	99.65 ± 0.60
Group E	69.24 ± 27.52	82.51 ± 15.36	87.01 ± 4.73
Group F	63.36 ± 31.78	68.59 ± 28.32	85.48 ± 15.99

Values (expressed in mean ± SD) wound contraction %. 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.
