Abstract
Abstract Medical fabrics and gauze are some of the most utilized functional fabrics. In this study, an appropriate wound dressing for quick wound healing is produced utilizing natural materials that are compatible with human skin. Because of its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and nontoxic characteristics, gum tragacanth demonstrates a wide range of applications in a variety of sectors, including healthcare, pharmaceutical, and other fields. Chamomile extract is chosen from a variety of extracts and essences for this study. In situ composition of materials and plant extract are employed on cotton fabric. The optimal sample, which contains 0.5 w% gum tragacanth, 0.5 w% alginate, and 0.5 w% bacterial cellulose, has the best antibacterial features while being biocompatible.
