The product uses Cook Biotech's Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) technology, which is designed for the reinforcement or repair of damaged tissue. SIS is made from the porcine small intestine and is processed to produce a three-dimensional extracellular matrix consisting of collagen, non-collagenous proteins, and biomolecules.
