dc.description.abstractThe treatment of skin lesions is a costly and complex process, for which different strategies are currently available. In this study, we investigated the properties of novel films composed of alginate and aloe vera gel for application as wound dressing material. The films combine the occlusive and haemostatic properties of calcium alginate gels with the therapeutic properties of aloe vera. We expect that these films may improve the healing process through the release of aloe vera compounds directly into the wound bed and could be an alternative to the administration of synthetic drugs to infected wounds. The films exhibited high transparency in both dry and wet state, as well as adequate mechanical properties for skin use. The results indicated that the films present great potential to be explored as wound dressing material.eng
