Abstract

Spirograph is a geometric drawing that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. This paper presents a research on a novel Spirograph Based Mechanical System (SBMS) meant for the production of electrospun mat with near uniform characteristics for wound dressing applications. A combination of natural (Chitosan) and artificial (Polyethylene oxide) polymer, along with Aloe vera plant extract has been evaluated as a material for wound dressing application. The improvement in the mechanical property, in vitro and in vivo studies indicate developed SBMS compared to the typical collectors has been found suitable for producing electrospun mat for wound dressing applications.

Keywords: Aloe vera; Chitosan; Electrospun mat; Mechanical property; Polyethylene oxide; Wound scaffold.
