摘要:
The present invention provides a medical device, preferably a contact lens, which comprises an antimicrobial LbL coating containing one or more antimicrobial pepetides. The antimicrobial coating of the invention can impart to the medical an increased surface hydrophilicity and a relatively high antimicrobial activity coupled with low cytotoxicity. The antimicrobial coating of the invention has a minimal adverse effects on the desirable bulk properties of a contact lens, such as oxygen permeability, ion permeability, and optical properties. An antimicrobial coating of the present invention may find particular use in extended-wear contact lenses. In addition, the invention provides a method for making a medical device, preferably a contact lens, having an antimicrobial LbL coating thereon.

The present invention provides a medical device, preferably a contact lens, which comprises an antimicrobial coating including at least one layer of polyquat of formula (I) or (II). The antimicrobial coating on the medical device of the invention has a high antimicrobial efficacy against microorganisms including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial, a low toxicity, low coefficient of friction, and increased hydrophilicity while maintaining the desired bulk properties such as oxygen permeability and ion permeability of lens material. Such lenses are useful as extended-wear contact lenses. In addition, the invention provides a method for making a medical device, preferably a contact lens, having an antimicrobial coating thereon.

The present invention provides a medical device, preferably an ophthalmic device, more preferably a contact lens, which comprises a lubricious coating including a capping layer of polyvinylpyrrolidone and/or at least one layer of a lubricious coating material and one layer of a polyionic material having charges opposite of the charges of the lubricious coating material. The lubricious coating on the medical device of the invention has increased lubricity, preferably characterized by an averaged CoF of about 3.0 or less, increased hydrophilicity characterized by an averaged contact angle of about 80 degree or less, and increased bacterial adhesion resistance, while maintaining the desired bulk properties such as oxygen permeability and ion permeability of lens material. Such lenses are useful as extended-wear contact lenses. In addition, the invention provides a method for making a medical device, preferably a contact lens, having a lubricious coating thereon.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a hydrogen peroxide solution for disinfecting contact lenses. The hydrogen peroxide solution contains an effective amount of a homopolymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone to an increased residual hydrogen peroxide concentration when in the presence of a catalyst, thereby prolonging the effective life of the solution and providing greater comfort to the weather. The present invention also relates to a kit for use in the disinfection of contact lenses comprising: a) an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, wherein the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution comprising a homopolymer or copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and an effectively disinfecting amount of hydrogen peroxide, and b) a container for holding a given amount of hydrogen peroxide solution, wherein the container containing a disc, wherein the disc comprising a substrate and a catalyst coating thereon, wherein, when the given amount of hydrogen peroxide is added to the container to entirely submerge the catalyst coated disc, the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution decomposes over a period time of six hours to provide a residual hydrogen peroxide concentration of less than 100 ppm.
