Porous films for medical use are provided comprising linear block polymers of polyurethane and urea containing hydrolyzable ester groups which are spaced along the carbon chain backbone of the film predetermined distances, so that upon hydrolysis of the ester groups fragments of the polymer are formed which have a size which can be secreted from the body of a mammal, the porous film including pores having an average pore size of up to 600 &mgr;m.

Film for medical use, consisting of linear block polymers of polyurethane and a method for the production of such a film

Implants are disclosed for use in humans having a rigidity comparable to human bone comprising polyurethane with hydrolysable ester linkages which are spaced apart to provide hydrolysis fragments which are sufficiently small to be resorbed in the human body, the polyurethane comprising a network polymer which is substantially free of urea groups. Methods for the production of such implants are also disclosed.
