The hydrogel foam of 1, further comprising heparin.
15-17. (canceled)
A method of making a hydrogel foam, comprising:
- a) combining at least one polymer and at least one cross-linking agent in a device comprising at least one pore;
- b) applying an external force to the device from step a) such that the at least one polymer and the at least one cross-linking agent pass through the pore while allowing the at least one polymer and the at least one cross-linking agent to polymerize and form a hydrogel;
- c) casting the hydrogel from step b) into a vessel;
- d) freezing the cast hydrogel from step c);
- and e) lyophilizing the frozen hydrogel from step d), thereby making a hydrogel foam.
