The invention discloses an absorbable 
chitin-based composite patch and an application thereof. The absorbable 
chitin-based composite patch is a mesh composed of 
chitin-based fibers or threads respectively having a 
surface coating; the chitin-based fibers or threads are insoluble in water, the main chain of the molecular structure of the chitin-based fibers or threads is polyglucosamine and contains an 
acyl group and a hydrophilic group, the total 
molar percent content of the 
acyl group is greater than or equal to 70%, and the total 
molar percent content of the hydrophilic group is less than 30%; and the 
surface coating is a water-soluble aminoglycan 
coating. The absorbable chitin-based composite patch is implanted in an 
abdominal wall in the operations of 
abdominal wall defect repairing and 
hernia repairing, can reduce the 
inflammatory response in the 
acute stage, reduce 
abdominal adhesions, promote the growth of the tissue cells and the synthesis of an 
extracellular matrix and accelerate the defect repairing of the abdominal walls in the physiologic repairing stage after the operation, and is gradually degraded after the 
abdominal wall defect repairing, and degradation products are absorbed and utilized by local tissue cells to further promote the 
abdominal wall defect repairing, so the absorbable chitin-based composite patch has no residual in bodies after being completely degraded, and no foreign matters exist in the bodies.
