A method of preparing a water extractable silicon-containing biomedical device is disclosed. The method involves curing a monomer mixture comprising one or more silicon-containing biomedical device-forming monomers in the presence of a diluent to produce a silicon-containing biomedical device; wherein the diluent comprises a boric acid ester of a Cto Cmonohydric alcohol.

Method of preparing water extractable silicon-containing biomedical devices

Biomedical devices such as silicone hydrogels formed from a polymerization product of a mixture comprising (a) a siloxane-containing homopolymer which has only one thio carbonyl thio fragment of a reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent; and (b) one or more biomedical device-forming comonomers are disclosed.
