This event is deemed reportable based on the allegations in a lawsuit which, while unsubstantiated, suggest that a reportable event may have occurred during use of atrium medical¿s mesh product.Plaintiff allegedly experienced adhesions, recurrent hernia due to mesh shrinkage, additional surgery, weight loss, severe and chronic pain, mental pain and suffering, inadequate incorporation, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of comfort, excessive and chronic inflammation, tissue damage and scarring.Since this is a 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.
