The present invention provides a hemostatic material which is excellent in hemostatic property, biodegradability and bioabsorbability, uniformity and stability of the quality, as well as reduces a risk of contamination with a pathogenic organism derived from an animal. The hemostatic material comprises a thrombin and a synthetic polypeptide capable of forming a triple helical structure. The polypeptide may show a peak of the molecular weight in the range from 5.times.10.sup.4 to 100.times.10.sup.4 in the molecular weight distribution. The polypeptide may contain at least a peptide unit represented by the formula: -Pro-X-Gly- (in the formula, X represents Pro or Hyp). The thrombin may be a recombinant. In the hemostatic material, the proportion of the thrombin may be about 0.1 to 500 units (U) relative to 1 mg of the polypeptide. The hemostatic material may further comprise a binder component having biodegradability and bioabsorbability. The hemostatic material may be formed on a substrate.
