Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
In a water based viscoelastic composition comprising a mixture of a hyaluronate and a polymer in water, the improvement wherein the hyaluronate has a molecular weight of about 1-5 million and the polymer is a water-soluble poly(ehylene oxide), which is a linear homopolymer of ethylene oxide having a molecular weight of about 1-5 million; the concentration of each component of the mixture being about 0.01% to about 2% and the ratio by weight of the hyaluronate to the poly(ethylene oxide) being about 1:50 to 100:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
In a water based viscoelastic composition comprising a mixture of a hyaluronate and a polymer in water, the improvement wherein the hyaluronate has a molecular weight of about 1-5 million and the polymer is a water-soluble poly(ehylene oxide), which is a linear homopolymer of ethylene oxide having a molecular weight of about 1-5 million; the concentration of each component of the mixture being about 0.01% to about 2% and the ratio by weight of the hyaluronate to the poly(ethylene oxide) being about 1:50 to 100:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the hyaluronate is an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hyaluronate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition according to claim 2 wherein the hyaluronate is sodium hyaluronate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A composition according to claim 2 wherein the hyaluronate is a pure hyaluronic acid salt or a mixture of hyaluronates with proteins and other naturally occurring substances derived from the natural material from which the hyaluronate is derived.
