Ask any victim of hernia mesh, and they will tell you how difficult it is to live with hernia mesh side effects. The hernia, a small bulge of tissues formed by displaced intestinal organs pushing through the weak abdominal wall, is one of the common ailments corrected by surgeries.
The surgeon cuts a small incision through the abdominal region and gently pushes back the displaced organs to their position. Later on, they place a polypropylene mesh over the incision area, to strengthen the abdomen and prevent further hernia recurrences.
However, the surgical implant has been not been much success in preventing hernia recurrences. The implant has been responsible for causing issues like chronic pain, adhesion, and organ strangulation. In a decade, more than a thousand patients have filed lawsuits against mesh manufacturing companies for endangering their (victim’s) life.

What are the allegations against the mesh manufacturers?
According to most victims, the mesh producers have been responsible for causing havoc on the life of the patients. The victims have held the producers responsible on two grounds:
1. Polypropylene
The patients’ claims, backed by multiple studies, polypropylene mesh are unfit for human usage. The inert plastic oxidizes when exposed to oxygen leading to massive complications among patients. Mesh manufacturers ignored the safety warnings issued by their medical advisors and business consultants regarding the effectiveness of the material.
2. Design Flaw
The design flaw in the mesh implant is another reason that has triggered complications among patients. A few of the hernia meshes, developed by different manufacturers, were not designed correctly. The implant, when fitted inside the patient, could at times shrink or dislodge from its position, and migrate. In most cases, it could lead to dangerous organ strangulation.
Patients suffering from hernia mesh side effects have filed lawsuits against the mesh producers for not providing information regarding the safety and effectiveness of the product. Many have approached the Hernia Mesh Claims for fighting their case and helping them in getting justice. You can do that too.
