Silver nanoparticle based wound dressing materials are shown as a more successful product in the market with the positive wound healing effect. Currently, many types of silver-based wound dressing materials are commercially available on the market (Aquacel Ag®, DynaGinate™ AG Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing, CuraFoam™ AG Silver Foam Dressing, DynaFoam™ AG Bordered Silver Foam Dressing, Biatain® Alginate Ag, and SilverIon®). Prof. Dr. Robert Burrell (Professor, University of Alberta, Alberta) developed the world’s first commercially available AgNP-based wound dressing (ACTICOAT®: Smith and Nephew, UK) which covers large areas of burn wounds, and accelerates the wound healing process and reduces scar formation.
silver metal which has its toxicity but in the form of nanoparticles, these are nontoxic to the cells. Silver nanocarriers are water soluble and diffuse into the body after delivering the drug into the body. to validate the results, an appropriate control is necessary to know the exact role of silver nanocarriers.
