The importance of reducing wound healing time in wounds lies in lowering the chance of serious infections and decreasing the complications. Proanthocyanidins present in the Grape seed extract have the capability to stimulate the VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) which is responsible for the closuring of wound. Additionally, it contains anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-oxidative properties. Due to lower side effects in herbal medicine, this study aims to formulate an antibacterial powder using grape seed extract. The antibacterial study was determined by using Agar well diffusion method. Starch, talc and Grape seed extract were used in formulation of antibacterial powder and the Evalutionary test was conducted. The result shows that the grape seed extract have the potential to act against wound infection causing microorganism. It denotes that the topical application of antibacterial powder using Vitis vinifera seed extract might be good for the treatment of wound infections.
