Abstract: A protective layer for use on a sensor during a manufacturing process avoids damage to the sensor and keeps the sensor surface clean during lens fabrication. The protective layer includes a non-cross-linked, water-soluble polymer layer and an anhydrous, cross-linkable, methacrylate-based formulation layer, temporarily applied to a surface of the sensor. The protective layer may be used to protect the sensor during a manufacturing process by applying the non-cross-linked, water-soluble polymer layer and the anhydrous, cross-linkable, methacrylate-based formulation layer consecutively onto the surface of the sensor to form the protective layer; affixing the sensor to a substrate; fabricating a device that includes the substrate; and subsequently removing the protective layer from the surface of the sensor.

Abstract: The described invention provides a biodegradable, biocompatible delivery system of flowable sustained release microparticulate composition of a substantially pure crystalline form of a bioactive agent such as, for example, nimodipine, a process of preparing a therapeutic form of a substantially pure crystalline form of the bioactive agent and a method for treating an interruption of a cerebral artery in a subarachnoid space at risk of interruption caused by brain injury in a mammal, which reduces signs or symptoms of at least one delayed complication associated with brain injury.

Abstract: Matrix controlled diffusion drug delivery systems comprising a therapeutically effective amount of one or more pharmaceutically active agents entrapped in a copolymer which is a reaction product of a monomeric mixture comprising one or more acrylate ester and/or methacrylate ester-containing monomers and one or more acrylamido-containing monomers are disclosed. Also disclosed are processes for their preparations and methods for their use.
