In-Vivo Studies of Wound Healing Properties of Antibacterial Copper Nanoparticles

Abstract

The rate of wound healing on white laboratory mice BALB/C was assessed after application of antibacterial copper nanoparticles with a surface mass density of ≈30 μg/cm² by laser-induced forward transfer from a 100-nm thick copper film. For comparison, a group of mice with untreated wounds was used as a control group. As a result, copper nanoparticles were shown to have a wound-healing effect without causing harm to the mice themselves.
