Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medical film having excellent transparency, heat resistance, and solvent resistance. This medical film is a medical film including a heat-resistant resin having a glass transition temperature measured by thermomechanical analysis TMA of 190° C. or higher wherein the medical film has a total light transmittance of 80% or higher at a thickness of 10 μm and a b* value in the L*a*b* color system of 10 or lower.

Claims (19)

1. A medical film comprising

a multi-layer film comprising a layer containing a first polyimide having a relatively high glass transition temperature and a layer containing a second polyimide having a relatively low glass transition temperature,

wherein at least one of the first polyimide and the second polyimide has a glass transition temperature of 190° C. or higher as measured by thermal mechanical analysis (TMA), and

wherein the medical film has a total light transmittance of 80% or more and a b* value in L*a*b* color system of 10 or less when having a thickness of 10 μm.

2. The medical film according to claim 1 , wherein the medical film has a b* value in L*a*b* color system of 5 or less when having a thickness of 10 μm.

3. The medical film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first polyimide and the second polyimide comprises an imide unit represented by the following formula (1):

wherein

R 1 is an alicyclic diamine-derived group, and

R 2 is an aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride-derived group.

4. The medical film according to claim 3 , wherein:

the alicyclic diamine-derived group is a group derived from an alicyclic diamine selected from the group consisting of 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,4-cyclohexyldiamine, and norbornanediamine; and

the aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride-derived group is a group derived from an aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride selected from the group consisting of pyromellitic dianhydride, 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, and bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) ether dianhydride.

5. The medical film according to claim 1 , wherein the medical film has a thickness of 1 to 100 μm.

6. A medical instrument comprising a medical film according to claim 1 .

7. A method of manufacturing a medical instrument, comprising:

folding a medical film or stacking at least two medical films to obtain a multi-layer body; and

subjecting at least a part of the multi-layer body to thermal compression bonding to obtain a medical instrument in the form of a bag-shaped article,

wherein the medical film comprises a heat resistant resin having a glass transition temperature of 190° C. or higher as measured by thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) and

the medical film has a total light transmittance of 80% or more and a b* value in L*a*b* color system of 10 or less when having a thickness of 10 μm.
