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, extensive scar tissue, and bunched hardened mesh as a result of the implantation of the mesh implant.Note: implant surgeon noted in the implant records that when replacing the staples with a capsure tacks, they could feel the tacker through the abdominal wall the entire time.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.
