21. A medical device comprising a copolymer prepared by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising, as main components,
(A) 10 to 90 weight % of at least one prepolymer selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following formula:
YOC—CH═CHCOW(R1)(SiR2R3O)m(SiR2R3)(R1)WOCCH═CH—COY
CH2═C(CH2COY)COW(R1)(SiR2R3O)m(SiR2R3)(R1)WOC(CH2COY)C═CH2
and
CH2═C(CH2COY)COW(R1)(SiR2R3O)m(SiR2R3)(R1)WOC(CH2COY)C═CH2
wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of alkylenes and alkylenes containing ether linkages, R2 and R3 are independently alkyl or phenyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted with halogen and ether linkages, W is O or NH, m is an integer between 2 and 200, and Y is a residue derived from a reactive oligomer of hydrophilic monomers, and
(B) 10 to 90 weight % of at least one copolymerizable device-forming monomer.
