[PROBLEMS] To provide a self-degradable adhesive for medical use which ensures sufficient adhesion even at a site with oozing of a large amount of blood or another body fluid, in particular, ensures adhesion without any problem even in the case where such a site is located vertically. To provide an adhesive for medical use which is excellent in the ability to cover a pinhole. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] An aldehyde-groups-introduced α-glucan powder having a weight-average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 200,000 is employed as a first reactant, while an aqueous solution containing an amino groups-containing polymer that is composed of a polymer chain of amino group-containing units or a powder thereof is employed as a second reactaint. The weight-average molecular weight of the above-described amino groups-containing polymer is from 1,000 to 20,000. When the first and second reactants as described above are mixed together, the resultant mixture has a pH value of from 5.0 to 8.0. |
