摘要

A molded elastin article in which a fiber structure made of aliphatic polyester fibers having an average fiber diameter of 0.05 to 50 mum are employed as a supporting base and which is flexible, bioabsorbable and has such tear strength as allowing stitching in practice. This molded elastin article is useful as a material for tubes and artificial vessels to be used in transplantationin vivo which are bioabsorbable and have such tear strength and flexibility as withstanding stitching during surgery operations.
