Pennsylvania Hernia Repair Lawyers

Do You Need a Team of Pennsylvania AlloDerm Attorneys?

If you are a hernia repair patient who underwent an additional surgery to remove your AlloDerm implant or repair your recurrent hernia, you should contact a personal injury lawyer right away.  Please also contact us if you are experiencing another injury or complication because your abdominal hernia was repaired with AlloDerm.

AlloDerm is an acellular tissue matrix that created from donated human skin tissue. The tissue goes through a process by LifeCell Corporation to remove the epidermis and cells that can lead to graft failure due to tissue rejection. However, recent studies and reports have indicated that AlloDerm may cause complications in hernia repair patients and results in an extremely high rate of abdominal hernia recurrence. If you are a victim, you should seek professional counsel with a personal injury lawyer immediately.

Studies Show Tissue Matrix Needs Design Improvement

Studies of patients who had acellular human dermis (AHD), or AlloDerm, implanted to repair an abdominal hernia have the shortest follow-up period and the highest overall failure rate compared to patients repaired with other hernia repair products. The literature shows an apparent lack of long-term follow-up studies on patients who had AlloDerm used to repair his or her hernia.

Current reports suggest that longer-term results are needed as AlloDerm graft stretching may occur in longer follow-up studies.
