Skin wounds especially full-thickness wounds heal slowly and often lead to incomplete healing. Rapid management of wounds is essential to ensure complete wound healing and prevent complications such as infection which can be prevented by the usage of antibacterial compound. Thymoquinone from the flower of Nigella sativa, a natural antibacterial, has been mentioned numerously as a powerful antibacterial herb since the ancient time. This book unveils a breakthrough study where wound patch made from natural resources which are collagen, gelatin, and elastin; and fortified with thymoquinone, can emerge as the superheroes for accelerated wound healing. Physicochemical, thermal, and mechanical investigations unveil optimum wound patch characteristics for application. Furthermore, the elastin content can prevent hypertrophic scarring of the wound. Together with excellent biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity. thymoquinone-fortified wound patch holds a great promise in a new era of rapid wound management.
