Abstract: Nowadays, wound healing is the common and simple problems occur in our society. Wound healing is the multi factorial process which includes inflammation, reepithelialisation, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. Wound repair system is indispensable to enhance the proper functioning of skin. Normally, wound dressing is either momentary or lasting, wound dressings has been intended to improve the wound repair. Those wound dressing are required to wrap the large surfaced open wounds such as widespread burns, pressure ulcers, foot sores etc., wound healing substance should have some important features such as, high healing efficiency, anti-scar formation, providing favourable atmosphere for wound management. The collagen plays an important role in tissue formation and has more effect on wound healing. In this work collagen sponge is prepared from fish scales and to increase the antibacterial efficacy need extract has been added.
