In this section, we discuss everything you need to know about the hernia mesh class action lawsuit.
Hernia mesh is usually used to support damaged tissue after standard hernia surgery to help hasten the recovery process. Unfortunately, some patients that undergo hernia surgery suffer severe complications that are caused by the implanted surgical mesh.
Common types of hernia mesh such as C-Qur and Physiomesh can cause severe damage to the abdomen, intestines, and bowels. The side effects usually require additional or revision surgery to heal. Patients who require hernia revision qualify to file for hernia Mesh lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Medical experts believe that these companies designed defective and dangerous products and failed to provide a warning about the potential side effects of the product.

C-Qur manufactured by Atrium and Physiomesh manufactured by Ethicon are made from materials that are not compatible with many patients’ bodies. These two types of hernia mesh are made of polypropylene plastic which is the same material used for a majority of transvaginal mesh products that resulted in more than 100,000 personal injury lawsuits a few years ago.
Physiomesh from Ethicon is also coated with Monocryl, which is an absorbable material that is used to prevent adhesion and inflammation. Many patients and medical experts believe that this material is not suitable for implantation. Unlike Physiomesh, C-Qur is coated with Omega-3 fatty acid oil that can cause allergic reactions in patients.
Both C-Qur and Physiomesh were approved by FDA’s fast track 510 (k) clearance program which doesn’t require clinical trials with human patients if the manufacturer can prove their products are quite similar to other products on the market.
