Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (Mv 300000)

Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (Mv 300000) is a biocompatible, optically transparent, hydrophilic, and non-degradable polymer with excellent cytocompatibility, eliciting a minimal immunological response from host tissue. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (Mv 300000) can be used for different biomedical applications, such as bone tissue regeneration, wound dressings and drug delivery^[1][2][3]. In Vitro:Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (Mv 300000) absorbs water or biological fluids via its hydrophilic pendant groups to form a hydrogel, which is utilized in applications, such as soft contact lenses, tissue regeneration, cancer research, ocular drug delivery, artificial skin, artificial cornea, and so on^[1].
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (Mv 300000) can be loaded with Quercetin (QT) (HY-18085) to synthesize QT-pHEMA-GelCryoMem, which exhibits good antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and can be used in various applications, such as wound dressings, scaffolds, or drug delivery^[2].
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (Mv 300000) can be used in the synthesis of spongy materials possessing antimicrobial properties, making them potential candidates for wound and burn dressing applications^[3].
