Abstract:
The invention provides a novel hydrophilic polymer and latex polymer blend coating formulation and compositions thereof, and their use on various devices (e.g., prophylactic and medical devices) to form hydrophilic and flexible coatings with durable lubricity.

Claim (Index 46):
A method for manufacturing a condom, comprising:\n providing a sheath of an elastomeric material selected from natural or synthetic rubber latex, the sheath having an outer surface and an inner surface; depositing a first layer of an aqueous suspension of a latex polymer to at least a portion of the outer surface of the sheath; curing the latex polymer with exposure to heat for a time sufficient to form a first or base layer of cured latex polymer; depositing a second layer of a composition, comprising a hydrophilic polymer and a suspension of latex polymer, to at least a portion of the first or base layer; and curing the second layer of hydrophilic polymer and latex polymer with exposure to heat for a time sufficient to form a second or top layer, wherein\n the hydrophilic polymer has a mean molecular weight in the range from about 1 kDa to about 1,000 kDa and is present in the composition at a concentration from about 2 w/v % to about 10 w/v %; \n the latex polymer microparticles are present in the composition at a concentration from about 20 w/v % to about 60 w/v %; and \n the weight ratio of the hydrophilic polymer to the latex polymer microparticles is in the range from about 1:1 to about 10:1.
