“…As such, SIS is a resorbable biomaterial, and it has been used successfully as a xenogenic tissue graft that induces constructive remodeling of a variety of animal tissues, including blood vessels, urinary bladder, dura, abdominal wall, tendons, and ligaments. [16][17][18][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Indeed, numerous studies have demonstrated that following implantation, SIS fosters rapid host tissue ingrowth and progressive remodeling of the regenerated tissue into a site-specific functional tissue. 19 The results of this study confirm those of previous investigations and demonstrate, in a canine model, that SIS can be used as a xenogenic biomaterial to regenerate large connective tissue defects and prevent the formation of nonspecific scar tissue.…”
