Availability and the pig bladder has the extracellular matrix, so it can regenerate itself. There are hundreds of thousands of pigs, slaughtered every year for food. The bladders are not considered food, so they are thrown away. Which makes them readily available and cheap to obtain. Your liver is an organ that has the matrix and can regenerate itself, but operations are expensive and the donor might not survive the operation.
