1. An article comprising:
a bioremodelable pouch structure comprising an extracellular matrix (ECM) structure in sheet form, said ECM structure comprising ECM from a decellularized mammalian tissue source, said decellularized mammalian tissue source being small intestine submucosa, liver basement membrane, stomach submucosa, urinary bladder submucosa, placental basement membrane, pancreatic basement membrane, large intestine submucosa, lung interstitial membrane, respiratory tract submucosa, heart extracellular matrix, or dermal matrix;
said pouch structure comprising an internal cavity having an opening;
wherein the ECM structure provides tensile strength to support newly forming tissue and includes first and second ECM sheets or sheet portions, each ECM sheet or sheet portion having single or plural layers and edges, wherein only the edges of the ECM sheets or sheet portions are joined together by laminating, suturing or gluing except for the edges that form the opening to provide the internal cavity that is located between the sheets or sheet portions; and
wherein the pouch structure is configured to contain an additional component or a composition.
