Embodiment 2

[0110] This example illustrates a typical method for preparing contact lenses prior to surface modification according to the invention. Silicone hydrogel lenses made from the composition of Example 1 above were released from polypropylene molds. Under an inert nitrogen atmosphere, 45 μl of the composition was injected onto a clean polypropylene female mold half and covered with a complementary polypropylene male mold half. The two mold halves are compressed under 70 psi (pounds per square inch) pressure, and the mixture is then subjected to UV light (6-11 mW / cm 2 , measured by a UV spectrometer) was cured for about 15 minutes, and the mold continued to be exposed to a UV lamp for about 5 minutes. The upper mold half was removed and the lenses were then placed in a forced air oven at 60°C for three hours to remove the n-hexanol. Subsequently, the edge of the lens was ball milled for 10 seconds at 2300 rpm with 60 grams of force.

Embodiment 3

[0112] This example illustrates the surface modification of contact lenses in accordance with the present invention. Lenses were made from the composition of Example 1 (silicone fumarate, 36% water after hydration). Before the plasma treatment of the lens, the plasma chamber is first evacuated to 0.01 Torr to extract the residual gas in the chamber. Surface modification included an initial oxidizing plasma treatment at 1.0 Torr, 200 Watts for 5 minutes in an air / water / peroxide atmosphere. This was followed by a hydrocarbon coating (using methane or butadiene) deposition at 150 watts, 0.5 Torr for 5 minutes on each side. After the carbonaceous surface layer is covered, the surface is hydrophilized by an electric surface treatment method using a manually controlled TANTEC LAB SYSTEM corona discharge system. The samples were corona-discharge treated in air at atmospheric pressure. This method uses a maximum volume of 250 watts or a maximum electrode voltage of 20,000 volts (pe...

Abstract

In the present invention, the surface of the lens is subjected to plasma polymerization reaction in a hydrocarbon atmosphere to form a carbon layer, and then a monomer mixture containing a hydrophilic monomer is graft-polymerized on the carbon layer, thereby forming a carbon layer on the surface of the silicone medical device. Provides an optically clear hydrophilic coating. The present invention is particularly useful for forming a biocompatible coating on silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to the surface treatment of medical devices such as contact lenses and medical implants. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of modifying the surface of a medical device by applying a polymerized carbon layer to said device, followed by free radical polymerization of a monomer mixture Grafting polymerizes on the carbon layer to form a second coating of hydrophilic polymer on top of the carbon layer, thereby increasing the biocompatibility or hydrophilicity of the device. The invention also relates to contact lenses or other medical devices having such surface coatings. Background technique [0002] Silicone-containing materials have been investigated for many years in the manufacture of contact lenses. Such materials can generally be subdivided into two main categories: hydrogels and non-hydrogels. Non-hydrogels cannot absorb appreciable amounts of water, while hydrogels can...
