A novel Janus device with omniphobic and mucoadhesive sides that exhibit the unique capacity for antifouling and extended gastrointestinal retention is fabricated . This system enables repulsion of the food and fluid stream by the luminal‐facing omniphobic side and allows attachment to the gastrointestinal mucosa by the mucoadhesive side.
