If you or a loved one suffered injury or complications from J&J Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite hernia mesh, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a J&J Ethicon Physiomesh hernia mesh lawsuit case or settlement claim.
A team of medical device injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential hernia mesh lawsuit cases and settlement claims of patients who claim to have suffered hernia mesh complications or injuries after having laparoscopic hernia surgery involving J&J Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh.
Physiomesh is a hernia repair mesh that consists of two layers of poliglecaprone-25 (“Monocryl”) film covering two underlying layers of polydioxanone film (“PDS”), which in turn coat a polypropylene mesh.
In May 2016 an urgent field safety notice was issued by Ethicon regarding a voluntary mesh recall of the Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh following an analysis that appears to have suggested that recurrence and reoperation rates after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh were higher than the average rates of the comparator set of meshes among patients in certain hernia registries.
