Binahong leaf is one of the herbal plants known to have interesting properties such as accelerating wound healing, anti-bacterial, etc. Converting Binahong leaves into fiber will increase their effectiveness because they are easier to absorb. The electrospinning method is used to convert Binahong polymers into Binahong fibers. The Taguchi method is used for experimental design with three factors and three levels. The resulting fiber properties vary with each variation factor. The smallest fiber obtained was 459,993 nm with tip and collector distance, voltage, and weight% PVA, respectively, 8 cm, 20 kV, and 8% (98.6922 P). Wound dressing by using Binahong nanofiber is possible.
