Abstract: The disclosed wound dressings have a drug dispersed throughout a polyurethane matrix that is the reaction product of: (A) An isocyante terminated prepolymer formed by reaction of isophorone diisocyanate and a macroglycol and (B) a monomer containing hydroxyl and vinyl groups. The reaction product is a vinyl terminated polyurethane oligomer which is liquid at room temperature and which may be readily admixed with a pharmacoactive substance and a photosensitizer, formed into a film and cured by exposure to UV light without release of heat.In the most preferred embodiments the foregoing oligomer is codissolved in an organic solvent with a polyurethane polymer which is the reaction product of:dicyclohexyl methane diisocyanate;a polytetramethylene ether polyol having a molecular weight in the range of 1000-3000 daltons; and1,4-butane diol.That solution is then admixed with the pharmacoactive agent, formed into a film and cured.

Abstract: Reaction product of an aliphatic organic diisocyanate, a high molecular weight polyether polyol (poly tetra methylene ether glycol) and 1,4 butane diol. The resulting polymers have thromboresistant properties, a long flexural life and are extrudable. The polyurethane polymer is ideal for forming transvenous cardiac pacemaker leads, blood bags, intravenous and intra-arterial catheters and tubing, and other shaped devices which must be formed of a blood compatible material.

Abstract: The actinic radiation cured composition of this invention comprises a polyurethane acrylic copolymer containing a light scattering or fluorescing material. The polyurethane acrylic copolymer is fully cured and is flexible and elastomeric.

Abstract: A reaction product of 4,4' dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, polytetramethylene ether glycol and ethylene oxide-capped trimethylol propane. The resulting polyurethane is optically clear and suitable for use as an artificial cornea, or a permanently implantable lens.

Abstract: Process for forming optically clear lenses or artifical corneas from a reaction product of 4,4' dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, polytetramethylene ether glycol and ethylene oxide-capped trimethylol propane. The resulting polyurethane is optically clear and suitable for use as an artificial cornea, or a permanently implantable lens.

Abstract: A reaction product of methylene diisocyanate, polytetramethylene ether glycol and ethylene oxide-capped trimethylol propane. The resulting polyurethane is optically clear and suitable for use as an artificial cornea, or a permanently implantable lens.

Abstract: Rubbery reaction products of an aliphatic organic diisocyanate, a high molecular weight polyether polyol (poly tetra methylene ether glycol), a low molecular weight glycol chain extender and a polyhydic alcohol crossliker such as trimethylol propane. The resulting polymers have improved thromboresistant properties and a long flexural life.Bladders for heart pumps may be formed from the resulting polymer, and a novel process for forming bladders for heart pumps is disclosed.
