Therefore, delay in CABG wound healing is one of common problems of diabetic patients. Aloe vera plant contains collagen which heightens the tissue granules and contributes in wound healing process with its anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, the researcher tries to examine the effect of Aloe vera on wound healing.

In control group only daily washing with betadine and bandage has been done. This has been conducted till 14 days after surgery.
