Abstract

This paper was not presented at the conference.

Wounds are loss or damage to skin integrity due to exposure to temperature or pH, chemicals, infections, pressure trauma and radiation. Wound healing cannot be separated from the role of collagen. Collagen synthesis can be promoted through sugar solution (sugar dressing). This study almed to determine The effectiveness of sugar dressing treatment from cane mace in healing incisions on the skin of rabbits). Nine newzealand white rabbits were divided into three replication groups with a total of three rabbits per group. Group K- (negative control) injured only given distilled water on the mediamus wound. The SD 60 group (60% sugar) was injured by giving a 60% sugar solution to the flank dexter wound. The SD 100 group (100% sugar) was injured by being given 100% sugar solution on the left side of the wound. Treatment is given once a day for 7 days. The macroscopic observations made showed that the test results for the SD 60 v and SD 100 groups had a significant effect on the size of the wound area but did not have a significant effect on the remaining length of the wound. In microscopic observation it was observed an increase in collagen test results in the SD 60 and SD 100 groups experiencing an increase in collagen density which had a significant effect on wounds compared to the K- group. The conclusion of this study is that sugar dressing is effective for increasing collagen density in wound healing. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide scientific information and data regarding the Effectiveness of Sugar Dressing Treatment from Sugar Cane in Healing Incision Wounds on Rabbit Skin.
