METHOD FOR PREPARING MATERIAL FOR GLAUCOMA SURGERY Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61L27/14 A61F2/14 A61K9/00 A61K35/12 A61P27/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns medicine, namely ophthalmology, and can be used in preparing a material for glaucoma surgery in adults and children. There is offered method for preparing the material for glaucoma surgery that involves collagen production and preparation with glycosaminoglycans with the raw materials for collagen production being an animal and/or human connective tissue. Concentration of the prepared collagen in a solution is 0.5-6.0 wt % to be heated to temperature 35°-45°C, cooled to temperature 0°C to 18°C to gelation. The gel is exposed to ionising radiation, moulded and sterilised. Collagen preparation with glycosaminoglycans precedes cooling or follows radiation in the ratio of glycosaminoglycans and collagen 1:(4-8.2) weight units, respectively.

EFFECT: invention allows improving efficiency of glaucoma surgery ensured by ability of the prepared material to maintain volume of a filtering zone, to provide the graduated filtration, to prevent formation fibrosis within implantation region.
