20140309328 | POLYMER FOR CONTACT LENSES - The present invention relates to polyurethane polymer compositions prepared by reacting a mixture comprising: a) at least one poly(ethylene glycol), b) at least one polyoxyalkylene diol (typically PPG or a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide), c) at least one di- or poly-isocyanate, d) at least one polyol or macropolyol having a functionality greater than 2, or a mixture of such polyols or macropolyols having a functionality greater than 2, e) optionally an additional compound comprising at least one hydroxyl group and at least one primary or secondary amine group. The present invention also relates to an article comprising such a polymer, in particular a medical device such as a contact lens. A process for preparing a polyurethane hydrogel is also provided. | 10-16-2014 |
20130041064 | Novel Thermoplastic Hydrogel Polymer Compositions for Use in Producing Contact Lenses and Methods of Producing said Compositions - The present invention relates generally to production of thermoplastic materials which swell in water to produce hydrogels. These materials will hereafter be referred to as “thermoplastic hydrogels”. They are useful as contact lenses or for use in vision correction prosthetics or as cosmetic devices. In particular, the invention relates to thermoplastic hydrogels which show improved flow characteristics. | 02-14-2013 |
