Every year in the United States, 100,000 hernia meshes are implanted. While the meshes are meant to prevent the hernia from returning, they can also prove to be harmful, no matter what brand of mesh is used. The problem with this is that more than 90% of hernia related surgeries used a mesh, and many patients who received this implant have reported severe injury and even cases of death.

While mesh brands such as Atrium’s C-QUR™ Mesh and the Bard® Kugel™ Patch have been the most reported, our professional attorneys encourage you and your loved ones to report hernia mesh damage even if a different brand was used.

Risks and Effects of Hernia Mesh Damage

The damage caused by hernia meshes can be characterized by the following effects. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA):

• Return of the hernia
• Mesh shrinkage/Mesh migration
• Pain
• Infection
• Bowel obstruction

If you or a loved one has experienced any of the following symptoms after a hernia mesh implant, you may be entitled to compensation. Many are concerned that the FDA has turned a blind eye to the severe damage these meshes are causing, but we haven’t. Fill out our free consultation form or contact us at 801-988-9289.
