BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB) August 20, 2007 ????Silicone hydrogels make possible a new generation of ‘super-permeable’ contact lenses that can transmit unprecedented amounts of oxygen to the cornea and, in some cases, enable 30 consecutive days of ‘extended wear’ without removal. “Silicone-hydrogel contact lenses represent a breakthrough over traditional hydrogel soft contact lenses, because silicone permits so much more oxygen to pass through the lens, which is essential for a healthy cornea,” said Bob Ward. “In fact, these next-generation lenses allow six or seven times more oxygen to permeate than previous contact lenses, which is why they are becoming very popular with both wearers….

Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) February 25, 2006 Researchers from the Martin Research Group at the University of Michigan have demonstrated they can precisely release individual drugs and bioactive molecules at desired points in time by using electrical stimulation of nanotubes. “There are many potential applications of our work” Professor Martin told Nanowerk “since we have demonstrated the ability to precisely control both the spatial and temporal delivery of drugs using the polymer nanotubes. This means the drugs now come out when we want them and where we want them.” Martin’s research provides a means for creating low impedance, biologically active polymer coatings, allowing the….
