Abstract

The corneas lack for transplant and acquiring surgical experience system are areas that need constant advances both medical and scientist to supply maximal approach to the physical and chemical patient’s reality, for this reason a possible solution are the organs emulators modules. Based on the physical and chemical corneal characterization and an inverse engineer process which model and generate its artificial counterparty by means the intelligent biopolymers constitution. The polyacrylamide, cyanoacrylate (minimal quantity) and chitosan three layered biopolymer is generated with a half layer 200% swelling index, 80 % environment absorption, semi-permeable aspheric geometry and temperature work window among 15oC to 37oC in vitro. This method contributes to an artificial organ generation that allows the possible prosthetics implantation previously the medicalethic commitment proving and accepting to start an experimental surgical module due to the physics and biochemical similarities to the ophthalmic tissues.
