Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh is used as a way to support or correct abnormalities in the abdominal wall and along the organs within the abdominal cavity. The flexible mesh is placed between two thin layers of polymer film. Over the past few years, the FDA has received many reports concerning issues with the mesh that have resulted in its failure to perform its intended purpose. Many people have filed Physiomesh lawsuits to help them pay for the treatment they need to regain their health.
Physiomesh Complications
Physiomesh failures have been associated with bowel obstructions, recurring hernias, infections, and other complaints. These complications have forced the patient to undergo additional surgical procedures to remove the mesh and replace it with a different device. Because the thin polymer film are broken down and eventually absorbed by the body, the mesh may be causing additional damage to the tissues it was originally designed to protect.
Signs That Your Physiomesh Has Failed
The failure of a Physiomesh device can cause many different symptoms. A few of the most common complaints reported in Physiomesh lawsuits that have been associated with this type of failure include:
- Inflammation and redness
