Humeurvitrée: Revolutionizing retinal detachment surgery
Abstract
Technology: We have developed a novel, patented gel whose use as a vitreous substitute has the ability to transform the retinal detachment space. The polymer is a combination of hydrophobic N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM), hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) and acrylic acid (AA), and a monomer containing a hydrolysable lactone ring. Poly(NIPAM) has unique thermal properties, giving our polymer combination a lower critical solution temperature …
