An antimicrobial composition comprising: a) C2-C8 alkylated polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer; and b) biocidal agent selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorohexidine salts, polymeric biguanides, organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, tertiary alkyl amines, iodophors and mixtures thereof.

A method of detecting the presence or absence of a sealant applied to a textile graft includes the steps of: providing a textile graft having a first surface and an opposed second surface; providing a water soluble masking agent; applying the water soluble masking agent to at least a portion of the first surface of the textile graft; providing a sealant solution; providing a visual indicator; applying the water insoluble sealing agent and the visual indicator to the second surface of the textile graft; and removing the water soluble masking agent after the step of applying sealing solution. The second surface has visual indication of the visual indicator and the first surface is substantially free of visual indication of the visual indicator. An implantable textile graft includes the selectively applied visual indicator.

Described is a silicone hydrogel contact lens having non-uniform morphology. The contact lens may be made from a reactive mixture comprising: a silicone-containing component; a hydrophilic component; a non-reactive polymeric internal wetting agent; and a polymerization initiator, the contact lens having an oxygen permeability of at least about 60 barrers, and wherein the molar ratio in the lens of the polymeric non-reactive internal wetting agent to silicone, without a surface treatment, is greater in the lens's surface than in its bulk.

The present invention provides a material for intraocular lens which has improved hydrolysis resistance. The material for intraocular lens according to the present invention is obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition comprising: a base monomer, a hydrophilic monomer, and a cross-likable monomer, wherein the base monomer comprises an aromatic ring-containing acrylate monomer and an alkoxyalkyl methacrylate monomer having an alkoxyalkyl group having four or less carbon atoms. A blending ratio on a molar basis of the methacrylate monomer with respect to the acrylate monomer in all the monomer components contained in the monomer composition is 0.25 to 1.00.

The present invention relates to a vinyl chloride-based copolymer which has good processability and thus is capable of providing molded articles having good appearance characteristics, for example, transparency, a method for preparing the same, a thermoplastic resin composition containing the same, and a thermoplastic resin molded article produced from the thermoplastic resin composition. The vinyl chloride-based copolymer includes N-vinyllactam-based polymer compound derived units and unsaturated fatty acid ester derived units at an appropriate ratio, and may have improved structure stability and good processability due to the N-vinyllactam-based polymer compound derived units and improved plasticity and processability due to the internal plasticizer action of the unsaturated fatty acid ester derived units. Therefore, the vinyl chloride-based copolymer according to the present invention may be easily applied in industries that need thereof.
