Would dressings mostly in the form of hydrocolloid and hydrogel from synthetic polymer materials are imported for wound management. We have developed a wound dressing made of natural polymer i.e. chitosan derivative that gives added value to agrowaste shrimp peels into bioactive product that has a potential to be produced locally. The innovative product is a soft gel that can be applied on deep wound, cavity and joint wound. Water soluble Chitosan derivative, mixed with cross-linkable polymers are irradiated fro sterilization and cross-linking. This friendly paste is free from chemical preservative.
