Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to polyurethane polymer compositions prepared by reacting a mixture comprising: a) at least one poly(ethylene glycol), b) at least one polyoxyalkylene diol (typically PPG or a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide), c) at least one di- or poly-isocyanate, d) at least one polyol or macropolyol having a functionality greater than 2, or a mixture of such polyols or macropolyols having a functionality greater than 2, e) optionally an additional compound comprising at least one hydroxyl group and at least one primary or secondary amine group. The present invention also relates to an article comprising such a polymer, in particular a medical device such as a contact lens. A process for preparing a polyurethane hydrogel is also provided.
