Method Of Fabricating A Collagen-Hydrogel

US Patent:

5213720, May 25, 1993

Filed:

Feb 15, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/657091

Inventors:

Linda Civerchia - Ft Lauderdale FL

Assignee:

CBS Lens, a California general partnership - Santa Maria CA

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A collagen-hydrogel for promoting epithelial cell growth and regeneration of the stroma is shown. Also shown is an optical lens for the eye, fabricated from the collagen-hydrogel, which, when affixed to Bowman's membrane, promotes and supports epithelial cell growth, enables corneal epithelium of the cornea of an eye, during the healing process, to attach to and cover the anterior surface of the lens implanting the same and to regenerate the stroma which grows over the edge of and attaches to the optical lens. Laid down in the layers of the regenerated stroma are new keratocytes and collagen fibial produced from keratocytes. The collagen-hydrogel is a hydrogel polymer formed by the free radical polymerization of a hydrophilic monomer solution gelled and crosslinked in the presence of an aqueous stock solution of collagen to form a three dimensional polymeric meshwork for anchoring collagen. The collagen-hydrogel material has a ratio by weight of collagen-to-hydrogel in the range of about 0. 6-to-1000 and less than 0.
