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.

A fecal catheter or ostomy pouch made of an odor barrier material including a thermoplastic elastomer, odor barrier modifier and an antiblocking agent.

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.

Certain embodiments relate to a soft odor barrier material in a medical device. The soft odor barrier material includes an elastomer and an antiblocking agent. In certain forms, the antiblocking agent imparts an interior rough surface having an arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra) not less than 0.1 μm. In certain forms, the antiblocking agent is non-blocking upon folding and packaging.

An antimicrobial amphiphilic hydrogel composition for use in haemostasis of a wound comprising: a first cross-linkable amphiphilic component, the first amphiphilic component, in its chemically cross-linked state, being a lyotropic liquid crystal and having an ordered nanostructure of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains, the hydrogel comprising an antimicrobial agent covalently attached to the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic domains.

Formulations for preparing repellent coatings on surfaces of substrates, such as medical devices, can include a non-cyclic volatile siloxane solvent such as a linear or a branched volatile alkyl (e.g., methyl) siloxane solvent and mixtures thereof. Such formulations 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 compounds having one end bound to a surface and an opposite end extending away from the surface; (ii) an acid catalyst; and (iii) the non-cyclic volatile siloxane solvent. The formulation can also include (iv) a lubricant.
