Abstract: A method for coating a hollow body on its inner surface comprises pre-coating the inner surface with a reactive gas plasma (PECVD), and follow-up-coating the pre-coated surface with a reactive gas component without plasma action (CVD). The resulting hollow body is used for temporarily accommodating bodily liquids, in particular blood, or cell suspensions, due to its hydrophilizing PECVD/CVD-coating on its inner surface.

Abstract: An intraocular lens has a hydrophobic lens body (1) made of silicone, at the surface of which a hydrophilic layer (2) made of polyacrylate is provided, wherein the layer (2) is a PECVD/CVD-layer having a water contact angle of less than 10°. A process for hydrophilizing the surfaces of the intraocular lens includes steps for PECVD-pre-coating the pre-treated lens surfaces, and for c) CVD-follow-up-coating the so pre-coated lens surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hydrophilizing surfaces of polymer workpieces. The method has a step (a) of pretreating the workpiece surfaces in a high-frequency gas plasma which is produced on the basis of an inert gas in order to clean and activate the workpiece surfaces; a step (b) of precoating the pretreated workpiece surfaces with polyacrylic acid using a high-frequency gas plasma made of a gas mixture, said gas mixture being composed of an inert gas and a first gas made of biocompatible, polymerizable carboxy group-containing monomers; and a step (c) of subsequently coating the precoated workpiece surfaces using a second gas substantially containing acrylic acid monomers.

Abstract: A silicone contact lens has a radial cross-section of the inner face, the rim portion contour of which is convex between a point of inflection and the outer edge. For its manufacture, a silicone precursor is brought between a female and a male mold and is polymerized, and the polymerized contact lens is released from the mold by means of a liquid swelling same.

Abstract: A hydrophilizingly coated silicone contact lens has a radial cross-section of the inner face (1), the rim portion contour of which is convex (7) between a point of inflection (6) and the outer edge. For its manufacture, a silicone precursor is brought between a female and a male mold and is polymerized, and the polymerized contact lens is released from the mold by means of a liquid swelling same and is completed after a PECVD/CVD-coating without edge cutting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions based on antiinflammatory active ingredients and to the use thereof for the treatment of rheumatoid diseases. The compositions comprise lactalbumin hydrolysate or a fraction thereof. Substantially lower doses of the antiinflammatory drugs are thus possible than is conventionally necessary to achieve a particular antiinflammatory effect.
