This study aims to see the effectiveness of red betel leaf extract ointment against incision wounds in white rats. The tannin and saponin compounds found in red betel leaf extract function to stimulate the formation of collagen which plays a role in the wound healing process. This study used an experimental research method with the test materials being 21 male white rats (Rattus norvegicus), red betel leaf extract on wound adhesions, the total number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in white rats due to incision wounds, divided into 3 treatment groups with 7 samples. The results of the mean value of wound attachment in the groups P0 18 ± 0.5, P1 8.5 ± 0.4 and P2 6.5 ± 0.0. The mean results of erythrocyte values in the P0 group were 6.16 ± 0.90a, P1 6.46 ± 0.45a, and P2 6.20 ± 0.63a. and the results of the mean hemoglobin values in the P0 group 11.8 ± 1.1a , P1 12.3 ± 0.7a , and P2 12.1 ± 1.2a . The results of the study showed that the administration of red betel leaf extract ointment (Piper crocatum) on wound attachment had a significant effect at a concentration of 45%, because it was believed that red betel leaf extract ointment could increase peristaltic movements. While the total number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin due to incision wounds in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) there was no significant difference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
