Lubricious coatings

The present disclosure provides substrates having a lubricious coating thereon. The substrate may be flexible and include, in embodiments, a medical device. The lubricious coating, in embodiments, is applied in a pattern so that the coating avoids delamination and/or fracturing which might otherwise occur as the substrate flexes and/or stretches. The pattern comprises a dot matrix. For example the coating may be applied to a cannula seal, the cannula itself, and/or an instrument passing therethrough.
