Development of a banana stem fiber-reinforced chitosan–xanthan gum wound healing patch loaded with Tridax procumbens extract for biomedical applications

Key Points

• The wound healing patch shows enhanced healing properties with the incorporation of Tridax procumbens extract.
• In vitro tests reveal that the patch effectively supports cell proliferation and reduces inflammation.
• Assessment of the patch's effectiveness involved using both chitosan and xanthan gum to create a biocompatible material.
• Further studies are needed to explore the patch's performance in clinical settings, although preliminary results are promising.
