Biomedical devices are provided herein which are formed from a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture comprising (a) one or more esterified aminoalcohol monomers; and (b) one or more biomedical device-forming monomers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric compositions useful in the manufacture of biocompatible medical devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to certain hydrophilic monomers capable of polymerization to form polymeric compositions having desirable physical characteristics useful in the manufacture of ophthalmic devices. The polymeric compositions comprise polymerized hydrophilic siloxanyl monomers.
摘要:
Liquid hemostatic coating materials comprise a cyanoacrylate monomer and a solvent system comprising a volatile, non-reactive liquid that is non-stinging and non-irritating to a user. The material forms a coating or bandage in the form of a film that when applied and adhered to a surface or to the skin of a user inhibits the application surface from adhering to another surface.
摘要:
Hydrophilic, arylsiloxy-containing monomers and macromonomers have at least a terminal hydrophilic group attached to an arylsiloxy group. The aryl groups attached to siloxy groups can be substituted with other hydrophilic groups. Polymers comprising such hydrophilic, arylsiloxy-containing monomers and macromonomers avoid or reduce the risk of forming vacuoles of absorbed water. Furthermore, such polymers have high refractive index, and, thus, are advantageously used for making ophthalmic devices, such as intraocular lenses, contact lenses, corneal rings, corneal inlays, and keratoprostheses.
摘要:
The use of compositions containing one or more antimicrobial agents with one or more trialkanolamine alkoxylate buffers to disinfect and/or preserve medical devices is described. Solutions containing one or more antimicrobial agents with one or more trialkanolamine alkoxylate buffers and methods of making and using the same are also described.
摘要:
Biomedical devices formed from a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture comprising one or more monomers comprising at least two trifluorovinyl groups are provided. Also provided are biomedical devices formed from a network of a polymer comprising one or more perfluorocyclobutane rings in the polymer backbone wherein the network is formed by crosslinks in the polymer.
摘要:
The present invention provides prepolymers based on poly(alkyl ethers) having terminal trifluorovinyl aromatic containing groups and polymers produced from such prepolymers. The prepolymers and polymers are useful as biomedical devices such as contact lenses or intraocular lenses.
摘要:
A method for the mitigation of symptoms of dry eye is disclosed. The method involves at least (a) incorporating one or more non-functionalized polymers having one or more hydrophilic moieties into an ophthalmic device that is a polymerization product of a comonomer mixture comprising: (i) a major amount of a non-silicone-containing hydrophilic monomer; and (ii) an end terminal functionalized surfactant; and (b) inserting the ophthalmic device in the eye of a patient.
摘要:
Siloxy-containing monomers, macromonomers, or polymers have at least a siloxy-containing side group that comprises a refractive-index increasing substituent. Polymeric compositions comprising such siloxy-containing monomers, macromonomers, or polymers are advantageously used for making ophthalmic devices, such as intraocular lenses, contact lenses, corneal rings, corneal inlays, and keratoprostheses.
摘要:
A method for improving the wettability of a medical device is provided, the method comprising the steps of (a) providing a medical device formed from a monomer mixture comprising a hydrophilic monomer and a siloxy-containing monomer, (b) subjecting a surface of the medical device to a surface treatment, and (c) contacting the treated surface of the medical device with a wetting agent solution comprising a carboxylic acid-containing polymer or copolymer to form a carboxylic acid-containing polymeric or copolymeric layer on the treated surface of the medical device.
