Provided is a porous molded article made from a hydrophilic material in which the holes are arranged densely in a regular fashion in all parts. A porous molded article (10) has voids in the interior, and a plurality of openings (12a) are formed on the surface (10S). The openings (12a) of the porous molded article (10) are such that voids are exposed on the surface (10S). The porous molded article (10) has voids opened on the surface (10S). A plurality of spherical holes are connected in the interior of the molded article (10), and these holes form voids.本發明提供一種由親水性材料構成,且無論空孔部為哪一部分都具規則性且緊密地排列之多孔成形體。多孔成形體(10)在其內部具有空隙,且在表面(10S)形成有複數個開口部(12a)。多孔成形體(10)的開口部(12a)係空隙暴露於表面(10S)者。多孔成形體(10)具有在表面(10S)開口之空隙。球狀的複數個空孔部在成形體(10)的內部相連,該等空孔部構成空隙。
