Fabrication and Characterization of Chitosan-Polyethylene Glycol (Ch-Peg) Based Hydrogels and Evaluation of Their Potency in Rat Skin Wound Model

Figure 2

Moisture content of prepared hydrogel mixtures. All hydrogels had a water content of more than 93%. This strongly shows that hydrogels are effective at donating water to wound sites and that the water content of hydrogels helps wound healing by keeping the environment wet. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. Abbreviations. Xanthan gum (X), boric acid (B), gelatin (Ge), polyethylene glycol (Peg), chitosan (Ch), and glutaraldehyde (G).
