The present invention relates to development of a new form of wound dressing, which holds honey on the wound surface by developing a film comprising chitosan, sodium alginate and honey. The wound dressing was prepared in two layers, in which the wound contact layer (1) in the form of film in the above said combination and the secondary layer (2) in the form of viscose/bamboo needle punched nonwoven. a safety device comprising of the sensing unit. The combined effect of chitosan, sodium alginate, honey and nonwoven accelerates the healing of burn wounds. Thus the amplification of usage of manuka honey in film form as a wound contact layer along with nonwoven, is a forward step in the field of bioactive wound dressings.
