About Physiomesh by Johnson & Johnson
The Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh is a product made by Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. It was previously approved to be marketed by the FDA in March 2010 through the 510K fast-track approval program, which allows medical device makers to receive expedited approval of a product by showing that it is almost indistinguishable to a similar product that is already on the market, without having to undergo the standard requirements of testing and research.
As a result to the rise in complications from the use of Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh, lawsuits have been filed over the failed product with allegations stemming from “failure to perform adequate research of the product” to “failure to warn about the complications linked to the product.”
About Composix Kugel Hernia Mesh by C.R. Bard
The Composix Kugel Mesh is manufactured by C.R. Bard, a subsidiary of Davol, Inc. It was designed with a “memory recoil ring” which allowed the patch to be folded, inserted through a small abdominal incision and, once in place, unfold and lie flat over the affected area. Unfortunately, the ring can buckle or break under the stress of placement, which in turn can cause numerous, painful, life threatening, and potentially fatal complications. If you have the Composix Kugel or any Bard mesh, fill out the form or call 424-245-5505.
About Atrium C-Qur® Mesh
The Atrium C-Qur® Mesh is a product made by Atrium. It was previously approved to be marketed by the FDA in 2005 through the 510K approval program, which allows medical device makers to receive expedited approval of a product by showing that it is almost indistinguishable to a similar product that is already on the market, without having to undergo the standard requirements of testing and research.
The Atrium C-Qur® Mesh is a polypropylene mesh that is covered in a gel. In October 2012, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to Atrium, alleging that the company failed to respond to complaints about the C-Qur® Mesh. The Food and Drug Administration further alleged that the company failed to review or investigate complaints involving the failures of the C-Qur® Mesh and alleged infections that developed in patients that had the mesh used in hernia corrective surgery.
What Is Hernia Surgery?
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue in the body pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding tissue. Hernias commonly occur in the groin area depending on if it is in the inner or outer part of the groin. Hernias can also occur in the abdomen or in the upper stomach. Hernias can also occur as a result of surgery in the afflicted area.
It is alleged in the investigation from the Food and Drug Administration, that Atrium knew or should have known about these problems before placing the mesh into the market. Generally manufacturers have an obligation to adequately research and test their products before placing them into the market, and should warn potential consumers of the risks associated with using the product.
Problems and Complications
Certain symptoms to be cautious of involving complications from the mesh are: pain, swelling, adhesions, obstructions, mesh migration, bacterial infection, hernia recurrence and additional surgeries to treat the recurring hernia.
