Abstract

Skin is the outermost organ of the body that covers and protects the entire surface of the body. Incision wounds caused by a sharp object being cut and diabetic wounds caused by complications of diabetes. This study uses moringa (Moringa oleifera) root extract as the active substance because it acts as an antimicrobial that can accelerate wound closure and as an anti-inflammatory that can minimize the onset of inflammation. Moringa root extract is formulated into a gel because it is more effective in wound closure and easily relese form the dosage forms. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of moringa root extract gel in healing incision and diabetic wounds. Moringa root extract gel effectiveness test was conducted on 6 treatment groups, namely K1: positive control (bioplacenton® gel and star ag® gel), K2: normal control (no treatment), K3: negative control (base gel), K4: 5% gel treatment, K5: 10% gel treatment and K6: 15% gel treatment. Data analysis using SPSS software with One Way ANOVA test. The results of the effectiveness test showed that moringa root extract gel with a concentration variation of 5%, 10% and 15% had a healing effect on incision and diabetic wounds. The results of the One Way Anova test show that the data on the percentage of healing of incision and diabetic wounds are different with a significant value of p < 0.05 in each wound.
