Popis: The calcification of acrylic hydrogels in abiotic calcifying media was analyzed. The calcification in hydrogels was independent of the physiological microenvironment and biological factors. In all the experiments high purity, sterile and nonpyrogenic water was used for injections with osmolality zero. The results show that all ionic species involved in the calcification of PHEMA hydogels in a metastable solution of CaCl and NaPO induced salting-out effects.
