Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial effect of copper nanoparticles impregnated in medical textiles at the José Alfredo Mendoza Olavarría Hospital, Tumbes. Methodology: An experimental quantitative study was carried out, where three experiments were carried out on the use of medical jackets with copper nanoparticles in a routine use of twelve hours, in twelve doctors of the Obstetrics and Gynecology service of the José Alfredo Mendoza Olavarría Hospital of the Tumbes Region, Peru. The fabric of the medical jacket was then cut into pieces one inch square and the material was preserved in a conical flask. The following was analyzed: bacterial growth and resistance in control and experimental jackets. For statistical analysis, a database was built in SPSS, summary measures and trends were determined. Results: A total of 26 bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics for clinical use were isolated, 7 strains correspond to isolations from medical jackets functionalized with Cu nanoparticles and 19 strains isolated from non- functionalized jackets (control). Conclusion: Copper nanoparticles impregnated in medical textiles inhibit bacterial growth.
