    A hydrogel is a biphasic material, ... that can be used for medical applications, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyacrylate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

  4. Polyvinylpyrrolidone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylpyrrolidone

    Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), also commonly called polyvidone or povidone, is a water-soluble polymer compound made from the monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone. [1] PVP is available in a range of molecular weights and related viscosities, and can be selected according to the desired application properties.

  5. Artificial cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cartilage

    PVP hydrogels were also studied. They exhibit high hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and complexing ability. When used as a blend of PVA/PVP hydrogel, they produced similar internal 3D structure and water content as natural articular cartilage. The best mechanical properties and friction system were blended hydrogel with 1 wt. % PVP.

  6. Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone

    Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (polyvinyl polypyrrolidone, PVPP, crospovidone, crospolividone, or E1202) is a highly cross-linked modification of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).. The cross-linked form of PVP is used as a disintegrant (see also excipients) in pharmaceutical tablets. [1]

  7. Inadine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inadine

    Inadine is an iodine-containing non-sticky surgical dressing consisting of a knitted viscose fabric with a polyethylene glycol base that contains and slowly releases the antiseptic povidone-iodine (PVP-1). It is applied to superficial wounds. [1] [2] It is a widely available dressing produced by Systagenix. [3]

  8. Hydrogel dressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel_dressing

    Hydrogel dressing is a medical dressing based on hydrogels, three-dimensional hydrophilic structure. [1] The insoluble hydrophilic structures absorb polar wound exudates and allow oxygen diffusion at the wound bed to accelerate healing. [ 2 ]

  9. Gelclair - Wikipedia
