Intraocular biocompatibility of hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid copolymer/partially hydrolyzed poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate)

Abstract: A strip of partially hydrolyzed poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) containing 65%-75% H2O was implanted into the anterior eye chamber of 11 Chinchilla rabbits. No pathological changes were found in the iris or in the ciliary body. The pathological findings in the cornea accompanying implantation of a hydrogel strip to the anterior chamber were rare and not significant. The low occurrence of the foreign body giant multinucleate cells was observed on the implant surface 6 months after the implantation. Favorable… Show more

“…17 In biocompatibility studies of subcutaneously and intraocularly implanted PHEMA sponges, there is no or minimal local tissue inflammation over weeks to months. 73 There is modest cell invasion by fibroblasts and capillaries into the implant for soft tissue replacement, 9 whereas sponge implants into the spinal cord and for optic nerve injuries are invaded by glial cells and ED1 ϩ macrophage cells. 67 A minority of the long-term but not the short-term implants have demonstrated microcalcification.…”

“…For use in medical applications like iris implants, the dyes and the corresponding polymers have to be biocompatible (ISO 11979-5) [3335]. To analyze the photosensitivity of the materials, the dye-containing polymers were preserved in a sodium chloride solution at 35 °C and exposed to irradiation with visible light (3 mW/cm 2 2500 h) for 100 days.…”

“…Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) and related hydrogels are studied for versatile applications in biomedicine, biotechnology and a vast field where the controlled release of chemicals is required [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Highly crosslinked PVP hydrogels are generally prepared from the monomer, with or without some comonomers, in the presence of a crosslinking agent 7) .…”
