Skin injuries that disrupt soft tissue integrity result in wounds. Wound healing is a complex and prolonged process involving tissue repair and remodeling in response to injury. When skin continuity is lost, its protective and regulatory functions are compromised. Therefore, appropriate wound management and treatment are essential to prevent infection and the development of chronic wounds.
This study aimed to compare wound healing duration following incision wounds treated with broiler chicken egg white gel extract. A quasi-experimental study with a post-test control group design was conducted. Two treatment groups were included. In Group I, wounds were cleansed with 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, while in Group II, wounds were treated with a broiler chicken egg white gel extract ointment.
The results demonstrated a significant difference in wound healing duration between the two groups. Treatment with broiler chicken egg white gel extract (Gallus domesticus) ointment accelerated wound healing more effectively than the control treatment using 0.9% NaCl.
