| Summary: |
Sea Cucumber contains many
active compounds that have health benefi ts. The
ability of therapeutic and medicine eff ects have
associated with triterpen glycosides (saponin),
chondrointin sulfates, glycosaminoglycan (
GAGs), sulfates polysacarida, sterol (glycoside
and sulfates) phenolics, cerberosides, lectins,
peptides, glycoprotein, glycosphingolipids and
essential fatty acids.
Objective: To compare the eff ectiveness of sea
cucumber jelly and hydrogel in chronic wound
healing in the white rats.
Method : The research was a quasi-experiment
with post test design. The number of samples
was 10 rats. The rats were divided into two
groups: a group was given sea cucumber jelly
treatment and the other group was given
hydrogel treatment. Before given treatment,
a 1x1 cm wound was made on each rats and
then the wound was infected with E. Colli.
Wound care was done in every 2 days.
Result: There was no signifi cant diff erence
between the use of sea cucumber jelly and
hydrogel in chronic wound healing in the white
rats (p = 0,753). Based on the average of healing
period, sea cucumber jelly gave better eff ect
than hydrogel (wound with sea cucumber jelly
treatment was healed 12 days, and hidrogel in
13 days). DESIGN assessment tool was used to
assess the wound.
Conclusion: Based on the average of healing
period, sea cucumber jelly gave better eff ect
than hydrogel. Sea cucumber jelly could be to
use as the alternatives dressing.
