Developement of advanced wound dressings that possess anti-microbial properties for wound surface and absorbed exudate is challenging study and it facilitate effective wound healing. The polyurethane (PU) foam is one of the widely used moisture dressing that have superior ability to absorb exudate from wound beds. In this study, we fabricated anti-microbial PU foams containing silver nanoparticles and activated carbon. Then, The mechanical property, moisture absorption speed, absorptivity, morphology and cell viability of the composite foam were characterized. PU foams containing silver nanoparticles and activated carbon showed significantly effective wound healing compared to controls. It will provide a crucial clue as a functional wound dressing material.
