Hydrophilic silicone elastomer with excellent cell adhesion capability - A promising material for ophthalmic micro-implants

For minimising tissue reactions of implants hydrophilic silicone elastomers feature a high potential to be utilised as material for micro-implants in ophthalmologic pathology. To estimate the biocompatibility we quantified cell viability of human primary fibroblasts from scleral (hSF) and choroideal...
