Atrium ProLite and ProLoop Hernia Mesh Implants Added To Lawsuits Claiming Defect

Atrium ProLite and ProLoop Hernia Mesh Implants Added To Lawsuits Claiming Defect
Calendar icon March 7, 2022 | Reading Time: 2 min

Over the past decade thousands of product liability lawsuits have been filed by patients claiming injuries from defective hernia mesh implants. The lawsuits involve products from several different manufacturers and have been consolidated in separate courts — one for each manufacturer:

 

  • Bard Hernia Mesh
  • Ethicon Hernia Mesh
  • Atrium C-Qur Mesh
  • Johnson & Johnson Physiomesh

 

The most recent products added to the list of claimed defective hernia mesh implants are Atrium’s ProLite and ProLoop, which have been alleged to degrade inside the body releasing small flakes and particles of polypropylene.  These foreign bodies can cause inflammation, tissue reaction, and rejection as the body attempts to eliminate the foreign material.  Complications can include hernia recurrence, pain, infection, abscess, scarring, adhesions, bowel/intestinal obstruction, bowel/intestinal perforation and repair and removal surgeries.

 

Some meshes have also been known to contract and crack within the body over time. Some studies have found contraction in up to 50% of cases, some occurring less than a month after surgery. When this happens, nerves and tissue can get stuck in the cracks and cause severe pain to the patient.

 

Atrium has come under prior scrutiny for its C-Qur mesh.  Now, a steadily increasing number of lawsuits have been filed against Atrium claiming its ProLite and ProLoop implants are also defective. The number of lawsuits are expected to increase as more patients develop complications over time from their implants.

    Testimonials

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

    • I highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone involved in a car crash. I worked with Michael Lovecchio, and had a wonderful experience given the circumstances. He was very attentive, and got the best possible outcome I could have wanted.

    • I just want to let you know that I did receive my settlement check. More importantly, I want to thank you again for all you did for both me and my family. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Cellino Law. From the moment I first spoke with you I felt comfortable - you took a sincere interest in my case, clearly explained the process and effected a quick settlement. From this day forward, when someone asks if I can recommend a good lawyer I will, without hesitation, say "Cellino Law". Thanks again.
