Abstract
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.
