Medik) leaf extract cream given topically on density and arrangement of collagen in incisional wound healing on white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Twenty-five male rats with an age of 3 months and body weight of 150-200 gram were divided into 5 groups C-, C+, T1, T2 and T3. C- (rats with normal healthy skin), C+ (rats with incisional wound treated with PVP-I), T1 (rats with incisional wound treated with 12.5% ALEC), T2 (rats with incisional wound treated with 25% ALEC), T3 (rats with incisional wound treated with 50% ALEC). Treatments had been given topically twice a day for 14 days. On 15th day, skin excisions were conducted, and histopathological examination was carried out by scoring of density and arrangement of collagen then analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and followed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Microscopic observation on the wound healing process on the density and arrangement of collagen showed that C- does not have significant difference with T1 (p>0.05), but C- has significant difference with C+, T2 and T3 (p<0.05). The best wound healing process on T1 allegedly because of the activity of flavonoid, saponin, and tannin contained in Aibika leaf extract which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. The conclusion of this study was Aibika (Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medik) leaf extract cream with the concentration of 12.5% has been proven to be effective to be used in incisional wound healing.} }
