Diabetic foot problems, such as ulcerations, infections, and gangrene, are common among diabetic patients. Diabetic patients with foot ulcers are advised to use a rigid insole. In the present study, plant extracts were studied for their antibacterial activity. The extract derived from M. pubescens exhibited potent antibacterial activity against the test pathogens. Natural nonwovens coated namely cotton and Bamboo was coated with the methanol extract of Morinda pubescens and the antibacterial activity of the coated nonwovens were determined by ENISO method and it was found to possess potent antibacterial activity against the test pathogens. The GC-MS analysis of the extract indicated the presence of various photochemical which are reported to have wound healing property, odour control etc. The wound healing property of the methanolic extract determined by wound scratch assay using L 929 fibroblast cell lines. Rapid initiation of wound healing process in 18 hrs was observed.
