Abstract :

Borassus flabellifer L. (Arecaceae) is a palmyra tree used for biological activities. The present study was planned to evaluate the wound healing effect of Borassus flabellifertrichomes on excision wound model in Swiss Albino mice. The wound healing results of aqueous extract of 20% of Borassus flabellifertrichometreatedgroups were significantly increased when compared with control povidone iodine and histopathological studies also revealed that theenhanced improvement when compared to untreated and control groups.The healing pattern of the wounds was evaluated by planimetric studies, macroscopic observations and histological studies. The results have shown faster healing patterns in the wounds treated with 20% of Borassus flabellifertrichomecompared to untreated controls. So, this study suggests that trichome of Borassus flabellifer trichomemay be a potential candidate as a wound dressing material and may be tried on the clinical wounds of animals before being applied on humans..
