About Hernia Mesh »
Hernia mesh is a medical device comprised of either synthetic materials or animal-derived materials that is implanted in the human body to repair a hernia by providing support to tissue that is damaged or has been weakened. Hernia mesh devices may be permanent or temporary internal implants dependent upon the classification of the material utilized in manufacturing the device. Hernia mesh devices created with nonabsorbable materials are permanent and intended to remain as an implant in the human body indefinitely, while those created with absorbable materials are temporary and intended to break down over time.
Complications »
Adverse event reports filed with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as scientific studies and data registries, have cited injuries and/or serious complications following implantation of hernia mesh medical devices during hernia repair surgeries.

Hernia Mesh – Investigation of Injuries »
We are currently investigating reports of injuries or serious complications related to implantation of hernia mesh devices. Hernia mesh devices are surgically implanted in the human body as a treatment for the repair of a hernia—a protrusion of an organ, fatty tissue, or part of the intestine through a hole or weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. According to documented reports and scientific studies, some individuals experience severe complications following the surgical implantation of a hernia mesh device that may include, but are not limited to, chronic pain, infection, high levels of hernia recurrence, adhesion, intestinal blockages, organ perforation, allergic reaction/mesh rejection, mesh erosion, mesh migration, and/or mesh shrinkage. If you or a loved one has experienced injuries or complications following surgical implantation of a hernia mesh device, we would like to speak with you regarding your potential case.
