Inflammation Caused by AlloDerm
AlloDerm is a skin graft product that was marketed as a safe alternative to traditional skin graft options. Unfortunately, despite eliminating some of the dangers associated with traditional skin grafts, serious side effects have been connected to this medical device, including persistent and painful inflammation or swelling. Although inflammation can arise naturally because of actions your body is taking, when it is the result of a dangerous or defective product, it can be incredibly painful and dangerous.
