In a harness for conduction, a knitted fabric that despite having high stretchability and flexibility as well as restorability at the time of repeated elongation, has the characteristics that a change in electrical resistance is zero or suppressed between elongation and non-elongation has never been available. A conductive part knitted using a conductive yarn and an elastic yarn simultaneously, and a non-conductive part knitted using only a non-conductive yarn are provided, in which the conductive part is such that at least the conductive yarn is provided in a zigzag arrangement in a front-back direction in a knitted fabric, and the elastic yarn is provided in an arrangement that generates a tightening force along a surface direction parallel to the front and back surfaces of the knitted fabric to keep the shape of the zigzag arrangement of the conductive yarn, the conductive part includes a constituent path employing a metallic wire as the conductive yarn, and the non-conductive part includes a constituent path employing a synthetic fiber as the non-conductive yarn.

An antiadhesive material that is excellent in biocompatibility and bioabsorbability, as well as excellent strength in suturing and bonding, is provided. A reinforcing materialmade of a biodegradable polymer is placed in a gelatin solution so that the reinforcing materialis impregnated with the solution, and the gelatin is caused to gelate and dried. By so doing, an antiadhesive material in which a gelatin filmand the reinforcing materialare integrated is obtained. The reinforcing materialpreferably is arranged in a portion of the gelatin filmto be subjected to suturing, and preferably is arranged along a periphery of the gelatin film. The gelatin filmpreferably is a cross-linked gelatin film, and the reinforcing materialpreferably is a nonwoven fabric.

Antiadhesive material

A medical film that is excellent in biocompatibility and bioabsorbability and has an excellent strength in suturing and bonding is provided. A reinforcing materialmade of a biodegradable polymer is placed in a gelatin solution so as to allow the solution to infiltrate in the reinforcing materialand then the gelatin is dried. This allows the gelatin that has infiltrated entirely in an internal part of the reinforcing materialto gel, thereby forming a gelatin film. Thus, a medical filmin which the reinforcing materialand the gelatin filmare integrated is obtained. The gelatin filmpreferably is a cross-linked gelatin film.
