Impaired wound healing causes increased pain, suffering, and decreased mobility in affected animals and human beings. The wounds may be apt to infection depending on the depth. There are many treatments which promote healing, including topical antiseptics and antibiotics. However, the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria underlines the importance of finding more effective agents with shorter time of application and novel mechanisms of action. There is a pressing need of alternatives to conventional therapy, having anti-inflammatory/proliferative/antibacterial properties. Nanoformulation aided delivery using biodegradable scaffolds mimicking structurally analogous to extracellular matrix are the novel substitute for tissue repair with minimal side effects and accelerated healing. We have developed novel and safe nanoformulations having antibacterial/anti-inflammatory/re-epithelization properties. Our experiences in this area opened up new opportunities to explore the nanoformulations to provide the safe and accelerated healing materials.
