WATER SOLUBLE SILICONE MACROMONOMERS FOR OPHTHALMIC MATERIALS

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 hydrophilfc monomers capable of polymerization to form polymeric compositions having desirable physical characteristics useful in the manufacture of ophthalmic devices. The polymeric compositions comprise polymerizable hydrophilic siloxanyl monomers.
