Liquid adhesive coating materials are prepared that protect surfaces, such as medical devices and biological surfaces, including skin and mucous membranes, from pressure, shear, and friction. The liquid coating materials utilize an amphiphilic siloxysilane/hydroxyalkyl ester polymer-containing coating material dissolved in a volatile solvent, with or without an antimicrobial agent, where when the polymer coating is formed after solvent evaporation and is folded against itself or placed against another material, the surface of said coating does not adhere, while the bottom of the coating remains attached to the original surface. |
