OBJECTIVE: To review the research advance of the preparation and characteristics of small intestinal submucosa(SIS). METHODS: Recent original articles related to such aspects of small intestinal submucosa were reviewed extensively. RESULTS: Small intestinal submucosa was an easily obtained biomaterial.
