Microbial resistant is one of the problem which impose health costs and other problematical issues considerably.
Using of Ag nano-particles as alternate healing method would be good due to its beneficial aspects, especially in
wound dressing. In case series study, 160 patients with wound were recruited and divided into two subgroups
randomly including 80 patients (13 females, 67 males, mean age= 31.29±9.28) as Agicoat users for their wound and 80
routine prescribed antibiotic patients (11 females, 69 males, mean age= 30.48±8.43). Clinical features of both group
were collected meticulously and treatment outcomes were evaluated after 5 and 10 days of start healing methods.
The findings were analyzed by SPSS ver.16. Our findings showed that treatment outcomes in Agicoat group were
better than that of in antibiotic users’ groups. Furthermore, average time of sutures in Agicoat nano-crystal was
noticeably less than in antibiotic using group. Moreover, wound length and severity of contamination had direct
relationship in wound healing. Also, our assessments revealed that method of treatment are really pivotal in time and
power of wound healing (Using of Agicoat was dramatically better strategy than prescribe antibiotic). Regarding to the
beneficial effects of Agicoat, including cost effective and reduce pain level and make fast effect because of using in local
site and in touched with microbial agents, and also considering day by day increasing antibiotic resistant worldwide,
we believe that Agicoat might be a good candidate for substituting of antibiotic.
