  • Silicone containing polymeric materials
    Patent number: 8481667
    Abstract: A polymeric material with a variable modulus of elasticity is described herein. The polymeric material described herein is useful for forming implantable medical devices (e.g. ophthalmic lenses, breast implants, and body augmentation devices). In addition, medical devices formed from the polymer material can be used to controllably release a therapeutic agent. Also, the polymeric material may be used to prepare topical compositions or other applications or devices where control of a mechanical property such as material modulus is important.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2013
    Assignee: Abbott Medical Optics Inc.
    Inventors: Can B. Hu, Thuy B. Mai
