Strattice Reconstructive Tissue Matrix
Cohen & Malad, LLP attorneys are actively investigating the cases of patients who were harmed by the Strattice Mesh. The Strattice Reconstructive Tissue Matrix is a hernia repair mesh constructed from pig skin. The mesh is then preserved in a solution and used as a cross-linked graft device, intended to chemically link the proteins in the tissue together.
However, hundreds of Medical Device Reports received by the FDA in relation to Strattice hernia mesh now include infections, serious side effects and complications, and even death.
If you or someone you care about has suffered as a result of Strattice hernia mesh, contact us today.
Use of Strattice mesh began in 2008 following FDA approval through the 510k process. A controversial method for approval, the 510k process enables a new medical device to gain FDA approval by establishing a set of similarities to a current medical device that is already on the market. The lack of rigorous safety and efficacy testing can allow product vulnerabilities to go undetected until patients are affected and begin to suffer.
Hundreds of patients now report having experienced painful, debilitating complications after the surgical mesh was implanted. These serious and life threatening complications include:
- abdominal swelling
- abscess
- fever
- gastrointestinal distress
- infection
- internal bleeding
- migration/relocation of mesh away from the implantation site
- nerve damage
- obstructions
- organ punctures
- painful intercourse
- rejection of the device
- severe pain
- death
