Who manufacturers the synthetic mesh? | Ennis & Ennis P.A. | David Ennis | Holly Ennis | https://www.ennislaw.com/ | 800-856-6405 110 E Broward Blvd, Ste 1700 Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301-3500 1111 Brickell Ave, FL 11 Miami, Florida 33131-3122 1101 Pennsylvania Ave NW, FL 3 Washington, DC 20004-2514 The two most common hernia mesh products used are the Ethicon Physiomesh, manufactured by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, and the Atrium C-QUR, manufactured by Atrium Medical Corporation. One of the most prominent mesh materials used was the Ethicon Physiomesh. However, in May of 2016, Ethicon issued an urgent field safety notice, asking hospitals and physicians throughout the country to stop using Physiomesh and to return the products to the manufacturer, acknowledging that it weakens and fails over time. The other mesh material, the Atrium C-QUR patch, causes a high rate of infection and pervasive foreign body response. It has also been associated with rashes, bowel obstruction, abnormal liver function, and dental problems. Many surgeons and hospitals have stopped using the C-QUR due to the high infection rates, bowel obstruction, and allergic reaction to the fish oil on the mesh, making it difficult to remove once it attaches to the bowel. Other hernia mesh manufacturers are Covidien, Surgipro, and Bard Ventralex.
