  • This invention relates to a biocompatible polymer containing the copolymerization product of a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic acrylic and/or allelic monomers, and telo-collagen preliminarily purified from glucoproteins and proteoglucanes.
  • the material is useful for the production of soft intraocular lenses, refractive intraocular contact lenses, and standard contact lenses useful for example, in correcting aphekia, myopia and hypermetropia.
  • Polyenic water-solvent ionic monomers may be used in order to produce a water-solvent layer.
  • this decreases the resistance of such copolymers against swelling.
  • the system of polyenic copolymers, based upon acrylamid or acrylic acid with HEMA has a tendency towards excessive swelling beyond all bounds. This happens because pure homopolymers, polyacrylamide or polyacrylic acid, contained in this system, dissolve in water. Therefore, it is an advantage to produce a polymer which would be able to form such a vital water-solvent layer, and would not affect the polymer resistance against swelling.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a biocompatible optically transparent polymeric material based on telo-collagen.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a biocompatible polymer containing the copolymerization product of a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic acrylic and/or allelic type-monomers and telo-collagen.

It is not advisable to use a modified collagen in the system according to the present invention since this collagen biodegrades with time (U.S. Patent No. 4,978,352, December 18, 1990).
  • the resulting biocompatible polymeric material is an elastic biopolymer, based upon the mixture of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers and telo-collagen.
