FORMULATIONS AND PROCESSES TO GENERATE REPELLENT SURFACES ON MEDICAL DEVICES
All-in-one formulations for preparing repellent coatings on surfaces of substrates include (i) one or more reactive components that can form a bonded layer on a surface in which the bonded layer comprises an array of compound each compound having one end bound to a surface and an opposite end extending away from the surface; (ii) an optional catalyst; (iii) a solvent; and (iv) a lubricant. A repellent coating can be formed from such formulations on substrate surfaces by drying the formulation on the surface to substantially remove the solvent and to form a bonded layer on the surface with the lubricant stably adhered to the bonded layer. The formulations can be applied to surfaces of ceramics, glasses, metals, alloys, composites, polymers or combinations thereof such as ceramic or metal plumbing fixtures, surfaces of glass substrates including mirrors, windshields, windows, surfaces composed of one or more polymers, medical devices such as ostomy appliances, etc.

MEDICAL DEVICES AND IMPLEMENTS WITH LIQUID-IMPREGNATED SURFACES
Described herein are medical devices and medical implements with high lubricity to flesh (or biological fluid) and/or inhibited nucleation on its surface. The device has a surface comprising an impregnating liquid and a plurality of micro-scale and/or nano-scale solid features spaced sufficiently close to stably contain the impregnating liquid therebetween. The impregnating liquid fills spaces between said solid features, the surface stably contains the impregnating liquid between the solid features, and the impregnating liquid is substantially held in place between the plurality of solid features regardless of orientation of the surface.
Skin protectant film including skin health ingredients
A no-sting skin protectant film forming composition is formulated with a film forming polymer having both polar and nonpolar characteristics, a no-sting nonpolar solvent system, and at least one skin health ingredient. The no-sting skin protectant film forming composition is configured to form a protective film on a skin surface after the solvent system evaporates.
