Claims28
A brush copolymer comprising (a) monomeric units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing one or more boronic acid moieties and;
- and (b) monomeric units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated-containing hydrophilic macromonomer.
A biomedical device having a coating on a surface thereof, the coating comprising a brush copolymer comprising (a) monomeric units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing one or more boronic acid moieties and;
- and (b) monomeric units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated-containing hydrophilic macromonomer.
A method for inhibiting adhesion of bacteria to a surface of a biomedical device is provided, the method comprising (a) providing a biomedical device having a coating on at least a portion of a surface thereof, the coating comprising a brush copolymer comprising (i) monomeric units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing one or more boronic acid moieties and;
- and (ii) monomeric units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated-containing hydrophilic macromonomer;
- and (b) inserting the biomedical device in the eye of a patient.
