The present invention is directed toward the surface treatment of silicone medical devices such as contact lenses and medical implants. In particular, the present invention is directed to a method of modifying the surface of a medical device to increase its biocompatibility or hydrophilicity by coating the device with a hydrophilic polymer by means of reaction between reactive functionalities on the hydrophilic polymer which functionalities are complementary to reactive functionalities on or near the surface of the medical device. The present invention is also directed to a contact lens or other medical device having such a surface coating.
本发明用于
硅胶医疗器械(如隐形眼镜和医疗植入物)的表面处理。特别是,本发明涉及一种方法,通过亲
水性聚合物上的反应官能团与医疗器械表面或附近的反应官能团之间的反应,在医疗器械表面涂上亲
水性聚合物,从而改变医疗器械的表面,增加其
生物相容性或亲
水性。本发明还涉及具有这种表面涂层的隐形眼镜或其他医疗设备。
