ABSTRACT:
A hydrophilic, water-swellable, crosslinked gel is produced by copolymerizing a water soluble vinylic constituent in aqueous solution with olefinic hydrolyzable silanes which contain low molecular weight alkoxy groups. Copolymerization is via the unsaturated groups and crosslinking is by condensation reactions. The copolymer is swellable to a finite extent or to an infinite extent depending upon the water/vinylic monomer volume ratio and upon the vinylic monomer:silane mole ratio. Non-toxic embodiments of the gel are especially useful as prosthesis fillers. Such gels can be used to fill the prosthesis before implantation or the prosthesis can be swollen with an aqueous solution after implantation.
