Data Collection: The patients of group-I wounds were cleaned using normal saline; then, the wounds were closed firmly with hyderogel\nano silver dressing. The dressing was changed every two days according to dressing manufacture instruction. When the dressing was opened after three days, the wound was assessed for granulation tissue, wound, and discharge size.

The patients of group II wounds were dresses using a traditional method, cleaned by normal saline, use of betadine antiseptic; then they were secured with clean linen gauze.
