The invention relates to a biodegradable non woven material containing (i) at least one polymer for inducing primary haemostasis (ii) at least one non proteinogenic water soluble secondary haemostasis activator having a low molecular weight and (iii) at least one non proteinogenic water soluble fibrinolysis inhibitor having a low molecular weight. The invention also relates to a method for producing a biodegradable non woven material wherein (i) a fluidised raw fibre material is placed in a container optionally along with additives (ii) the container is set in rotation (iii) the fluidised raw fibre material is discharged from the container by means of centrifugal forces as a result of which fibres or filaments are formed and (iv) a biodegradable non woven material is formed from the fibres or filaments. The invention also relates to the use of such a biodegradable non woven material as a local haemostatic agent.
