Porcine Amnion (Pig Amniotic Membrane)
SSR supplies porcine amnion, also known as pig amniotic membrane, for wound care research, regenerative medicine, medical device development, biologics, and other life-science applications.
Porcine amnion is collected from sows during harvest and can be prepared, packaged, and delivered according to customer specifications. SSR can support both research-scale needs and customized programs requiring defined collection, handling, preservation, documentation, packaging, or traceability.
Common Applications for Porcine Amnion
- Wound care research and product development
- Regenerative medicine applications
- Tissue engineering and biomaterial research
- Medical device development and testing
- Biologics research and development
- Further-manufacturing programs using porcine membrane tissue
- Custom porcine tissue programs requiring project-specific collection, processing, packaging, or traceability
Product Details
Product Standards
- Amnion sacs are carefully collected from sows during the harvest process when fetal pigs are present.
- Fetal pigs must exhibit no signs of disease or abnormal growth to ensure quality and safety.
Uses & Applications
- Amniontissue can be processed and used for wound care and more!
Product Appearance
- Product is rinsed and must give every indication of being fresh and free from any off conditions, off-odors, gassiness, wetness or slimy conditions.
- All product must be free of extraneous and foreign material and give every indication of being fresh and be free of any off-conditions.
- All products are harvested from animals who have passed USDA antemortem and postmortem inspection.
- All Products come from plants with robust HACCP, FSQ, and traceability programs
Storage Solutions
We offer a range of storage and packaging solutions to meet diverse needs. The most common option is frozen packaging in a wax-lined box. Additional options include:
- Cardboard combos
- Individually packed bags

Porcine Amnion FAQ’s
What is porcine amnion?
Porcine amnion is the innermost membrane of the amniotic sac. It helps create a protective environment during development and can be collected as a biological material for research, wound care development, regenerative medicine, and other life-science applications.
What is porcine amnion commonly used for?
Porcine amnion may be used in wound care research, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, biomaterial development, and other medical or life-science applications. SSR specifically identifies wound care as one potential use for processed porcine amnion tissue.
How is porcine amnion collected?
SSR states that amnion sacs are collected from sows during the harvest process and come from animals that have passed USDA ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection.
Does SSR supply porcine amnion in bulk?
Yes. SSR does not require a standard minimum order quantity and can support quantities ranging from smaller research needs to larger commercial programs. Pricing and supply arrangements depend on the material, preparation requirements, volume, and other customer specifications.
Can SSR customize porcine amnion preparation and packaging?
Yes. SSR works with customers to establish protocols for harvesting, processing, preservation, packaging, and shipping based on the needs of the project. Additional trimming, washing, or processing can also be performed in SSR’s dedicated customization facilities when required.
