The sad truth is giant pharmaceutical companies and a handful of medical device manufacturers have put the public at risk by bringing dangerous or defective products to market.  AlloDerm, a type of skin graft originally developed by the company LifeCell in 1994. It is an acellular cadaveric dermal matrix, which means that skin cells are harvested from cadavers, processed, and used as skin grafts. The processing supposedly increased the safety of the product.

AlloDerm was originally welcomed by doctors and patients as a safer alternative to traditional skin grafts. However, this product does have its own risks – including the necessitating additional surgeries.

What is AlloDerm?

AlloDerm is primarily used in hernia repairs and breast reconstruction following mastectomies. However, it can be used for other procedures, including the treatment of severe burns or lacerations. If you or a loved one has undergone a procedure involving AlloDerm, talk to your doctor about any concerns about your health you may have.

If you have suffered pain due to an AlloDerm hernia patch or have had to undergo subsequent surgery as a result of a defective patch, you may have grounds for legal action. Our AlloDerm lawyers can help you protect your legal rights.

Although AlloDerm was originally developed to treat severe burn injuries, today it is commonly used in hernia repairs and breast reconstructions following mastectomies. It is generally a safe way to help skin regenerate, or grow over lesions caused by injuries or surgeries. However, like all medical products, AlloDerm does have certain risks.

Potential Risks:

A hernia is an opening in the lining of an organ that allows the organ to protrude from it. This opening can be surgically repaired using a mesh of biological tissue such as AlloDerm. Unfortunately, this procedure can sometimes lead to medical complications, such as:

• Mesh Implant
• Ring Breakage
• Mesh Tears
• Defective Mesh
• Mesh Perforation
• Adhesion Issues
• Mesh Erosion

Complications like these may also arise in other surgeries involving AlloDerm. They can be very dangerous and extremely painful. In addition, you may need to undergo additional surgeries leading to more medical expenses and additional recovery
