The strength and integrity of hydrophilic polyurethane resins prepared by reacting a diol component, an organic chain extender and an organic diisocyanate are improved by critical selection of the diol component, the amount of water in the reaction mixture and the mole ratios of the reactants. The diol component is at least one of (1) a long chain poly(oxyethylene) glycol of molecular weight above 2500 and (2) a medium chain poly(oxyalky-lene) glycol or polyester glycol of 250-2500 molecular weight. The chain extender is a difunctional compound having a molecular weight of less than 250. The amount of water in the reaction mixture is 0.5 to 2.5 wt. % and the mole ratios of the diols and water to the chain extender may range as follows: (i) 0.4. to 0.5 of diol (1) and 1.5 to 8.0 of water; (ii) 0.1 to 0.75 of diol (2) and 0.05 to 3.3 of water; (iii) 0.06 to 0.04 of diol (1), 0.1 to 0.2 of diol (2) and 0.25 to 1.25 of water. The polyurethanes have improved utility as carriers for medicaments and a variety of other active agents, as shaped bodies including cannulae, body implants and films, as coating for anti-drag applications, and particularly as needleless catheters for avoidance of contamination from needles.
