  • Publication number: 20220380552
    Abstract: A halosilicone oil in the form of an uncrosslinked terpolymer represented by the following Formula (I): is disclosed, wherein at least one block forming component includes a halogenated, preferably fluorinated, substituent such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl or 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl. In some implementations, at least one block forming component also includes an aryl group, such as phenyl, that raises the refractive index of the polymer. In some implementations, the halosilicone oil is incorporated into an intraocular lens.

  • Publication number: 20200369853
    Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to a polymeric material for use in accommodating intraocular lenses for implantation in a lens chamber of a subject's eye. The present disclosure is directed to a polymeric material which comprises a fluorosilicone polymer and a silica component. The presently disclosed polymeric material is both optically clear and has a sufficiently low Young's modulus such that it can effectively respond to the eye's natural accommodative forces and thus can be used in accommodating intraocular lenses. When used in the fabrication of an intraocular lenses, the polymeric material disclosed herein protect the physical characteristics of the lens as the added hydrophobicity of the fluorosilicone polymer allows it to effectively resist diffusion of fluid from the eye and the adhesion of biologica materials.

  • Publication number: 20170252286
    Abstract: Novel compositions for the disguising of facial blemishes and scars in human users are disclosed. In addition, methods for utilizing said compositions, as well as kits for packaging and holding products containing said compositions, are disclosed. The novel compositions disclosed are based on a silicone material which is pre-mixed with a catalyst and an adhesion promotor, and sometimes also with a flocking agent. These pre-mixed compositions represent a significant improvement in product simplicity and ease of use for the person using the product. The methods disclosed are for utilizing products made from the claimed compositions and include simple dispensing of the silicone mixture followed by application of a skin texturing pad. The prescribed use of the skin texturing pad in the claimed methods is essential to create texture. Finally, kits for dispensing the primer-less silicone mixtures and for packaging the products are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150157509
    Abstract: A device for concealing an area of skin is disclosed. The disclosed device can also be used to deliver to the concealed skin area one or more beneficial agents. The device is designed as a laminate having a removable release liner, an occlusive layer, and a finish layer. In some delivery platform embodiments, the occlusive layer includes a reservoir for holding and releasing the one or more beneficial agents to the user's skin. The device is applied to the skin by removing the release liner and placing the exposed adhesive layer of the occlusive device directly on the user's skin.

  • Patent number: 8556968
    Abstract: A fluid-filled surgically-implantable prosthetic device encloses one or more non-enclosing fitted shells arranged adjacent to and in a graduated relation to each other. The invention relates specifically to implantable breast prostheses with a low coefficient of friction between two or more interacting elastomeric shells in an aqueous fluid environment, without the addition of a lubricating agent to the fluid.
