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 abdominal pain, recurrent incisional hernia, fluid collection around mesh, infected mesh, mesh rolled up within subcutaneous tissue extending through fascia and preperitoneal fat, removal of infected mesh, and chronic open draining wound.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.
