This event is deemed reportable based on the allegations in a potential lawsuit which, while unsubstantiated, suggest that a reportable event may have occurred during use of an atrium medical mesh product.Plaintiff allegedly experienced recurrent hernia, chronic pain, adhesions, adhesiolysis, loop of small bowel, incorporated mesh, partial lipectomy for diverticulitis and a colostomy procedure, fluid collection, and seroma as a result of the implantation of the mesh implant.Since this is a potential legal matter, the case has been turned over to legal counsel and further information obtained through investigation or discovery may fall under the attorney/client and/or work product privilege.However, atrium will supplement this report as appropriate if additional information comes to its attention.
