The present invention relates to a bio-stable hydrogel for use in the treatment and prevention of incontinence and vesicouretal reflux. The hydrogel is obtainable by combining acrylamide and methylene bis-acrylamide in amounts to provide about 0.5 to 25% by weight polyacrylamide, based on the total weight of the hydrogel.

Get PriceA hydrogel for use as a prosthetic device for supplementing, augmenting or replacing cartilage in the intra-articular cavity of a joint and for treatment or prevention of arthritis. The hydrogel may be a polyacrylamide hydrogel obtained by combining acrylamide and methylene bis-acrylamide. A prosthetic device comprising the polyacrylamide hydrogel is also disclosed.
Get PriceA hydrogel is obtained by combining acrylamide and methylene bis-acrylamide, radical initiation and washing with pyrogen-free water or saline solution to give less than 3.5% by weight polyacrylamide, based on the total weight of the hydrogel. The hydrogel may be used as a soft tissue filler endoprosthesis. Also disclosed is a method of filling a soft tissue in a mammal using the endoprosthesis

Mylar ® PET films with a thickness of around 0.1 mm were purchased from a local bookstore. PET films were cut by 2 × 2 cm 2 and washed with acetone and water to remove any dirt on the surface and kept in desiccator for future use.
Get Pricepolyacrylamide hydrogels comprising less than 3.5% polyacrylamide, cross-linked with methylene-bis-acrylamide, and at least 95% water or saline solution were found to be stable. these hydrogels are useful as injectable or implantable endoprosthetic devices for use in mammoplasty, soft tissue filling, penile augmentation, facial correction, lip augmentation, body contouring, arthritis

Get PriceWe successfully synthesized a family of alginate/polyacrylamide hydrogels using various multivalent cations. These hydrogels exhibit exceptional mechanical properties. In particular, we discovered that the hydrogels cross-linked by trivalent cations are much stronger than those cross-linked by divalent cations. We demonstrate stretchability and toughness of the hydrogels by inflating a
