Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the healing potential of a green propolis-based powder product on acute lesions induced in rats. Method: This is an experimental study conducted with 27 Wistar lineage rats randomly divided into three groups. The lesions were surgically induced and treated every 48 hours with the test products (green propolis-based powder, Brava Ostomy Powder™, and saline solution). The lesions were analyzed macroscopically and microscopically on the 7th, 9th, and 11th postoperative days. Results: Most of the lesions treated with green propolis-based powder healed in 11 days. The product formulated for this study and the commercial one showed satisfactory results in wound retraction, anti-inflammatory activity, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen synthesis. Conclusion: Treatment with the green propolis-based product showed great potential for healing skin lesions.
