There are some Teflon sprays on the market, but individuals get mixed results, and they're usually poor. Some professional service companies will re-coat pots and pans for a fee, and they provide a generally good finished product. In the mean time, try something by way of an experiment.

The next time you want to make an omelet, have all your ingredients ready to go, heat your pan, add room temperature oil, and add the eggs immediately, moving the pan. In general, if the oil is not allowed to heat in the pan before the ingredients are added and then the ingredients are put in right away and the pan moved around, the food won't stick. Geoff Smith, a TV cooking show host, used to say, "Hot pan, cold oil, food doesn't stick."

If you start off with a heated pan, added the right amount of cold oil, and then immediately added the ingredients and then begin moving the pan right away, the oil will do its job and the food can't get a hold of your pan and stick.

Because it's light, strong, and a good conductor of heat, meaning you don't lose as much heat during it's travel through the metal of the pan.
