The present invention describes a method for the impregnation of titanium oxide in cotton dressings, a potential game-changer in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. The method, which involves a precise sequence of steps including mixing anhydrous ethyl alcohol, deionized water and PVP at a temperature of 70°C, and subsequently adding titanium n-butoxide, reacting the mixture in a microwave reactor, removing the solvent through a rotary evaporator at reduced pressure and irradiating the product at a wavelength of 250nm, and impregnating and drying, has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and motivate us to continue our research and development efforts. La presente invención describe un método para la impregnación de óxido de titanio en apósitos de algodón útiles para el tratamiento de úlceras de pie diabético. El método consiste en mezclar alcohol etílico anhidro, agua desionizada y PVP a una temperatura de 70ºC, y posteriormente agregar n-butóxido de titanio, reaccionar la mezcla en reactor de microondas, eliminar el solvente a través de un rotavapor a presión reducida e irradiar el producto a longitud de onda de 250nm, e impregnar y secar.
