Hernia Mesh Campaign

What is Hernia Mesh?

Hernia mesh was seen as a source of relief for countless patients who were suffering from torn tissue in the abdomen. The mesh was attached using medical glue, stitches, or staples to keep it secured and add support to the tissue. This solution to a chronic health condition quickly skyrocketed to a market that was valued at over $4 billion. However, in 2005, more than 200,000 units of hernia mesh were recalled by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration. The cause of these massive recalls is attributed to the sudden growth of the product and the need for a viable hernia solution that resulted in materials being released too quickly and without proper testing and study.

Health Issues Associated with Hernia Mesh

Sadly, many patients who received hernia mesh suffered severe harm from these products and added health issues that could become life-altering or life-threatening. The issues of these side effects were compounded because, without the proper studies before reaching the market, patients were not given vital information about potential side effects and health risks from using these products. In essence, they could not make well-informed and wise choices about the products that would be placed inside their bodies because the manufacturer failed to follow the proper testing protocols. As a result, many suffered one or more of these common hernia mesh side effects:

• Infections
• Bowel obstructions
• Chronic and severe pain
• Mesh migration through the body
• Hernia reoccurrence
• Organ perforation
• Organ adhesion
• Fistulae
• Increased need for revision surgery to repair the damage caused by the hernia mesh

The Hernia Mesh Manufacturer’s Liability According to Recent Cases

Countless hernia mesh cases have been completed, and determined that the manufacturers not only failed to complete the necessary testing but also made false claims to mislead medical professionals and patients. In these cases, the companies manufacturing hernia mesh have been held liable for selling a product that was unreasonably dangerous even when used as intended, failing to warn medical care providers and patients about the potential risks of the products, and stating that the hernia mesh was known to be safe and effective. In addition, some made statements saying that these products were the only treatment option to treat and resolve hernia issues medically. Some of the manufacturers and recalled hernia mesh products include:

• Sofradim Production: Versatex Monofilament Mesh
• Ethicon: Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh
• Bard and Davol: Composix Kugel Mesh
• Atrium Medical Corporation: C-QUR V-Pack Mesh
• Ethicon: Proceed Surgical Mesh
• Atrium Medical Corporation: ProLife Mesh
