Determination of Effect on Cutaneous Wound Healing of Ozonated Hazelnut Oil

In this study, the wound healing effect of ozonated hazelnut oil was investigated on 54 male Sprague-Dawley rats. 7 experimental groups were designed. A circular area with a diameter of approximately 2 cm on dorsal surface was drawn using a coin and full thickness of the marked area was cut approximately 3 cm away from the ears by sterile scissors and forceps. All oils were daily applied on wound surface of experimental animals in volume of 0.2 mLduring 15 days. In this study, statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 22.0 package program. Wounds of all experimental animals were photographed by a digital camera on days 0, 3, 6, 12 and 15 after wounding. Ozonated oil treated wounds had significantly higher than the other groups on the day 3 after wounding. There is a quantitatively healing is determined on 3 day on rats. It has been observed in the stability period that ozonated oils must be stored at a temperature below 4 °C. Vitamin E should be added as an additive in the medical use of ozonated hazelnut oil in wound healing.
