Is AlloDerm Life-Threatening?
The company LifeCell first developed the AlloDerm hernia patch in 1994. Unfortunately, though many people have benefitted from this patch following hernia surgery, some patients have suffered serious injuries and pain due to complications associated with this medical device. Using the AlloDerm patch itself is not directly life-threatening, but it can lead to physical conditions and complications that are both uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous.
If you or someone you know has used the AlloDerm patch and developed a serious or painful condition as a result, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact the experienced AlloDerm attorneys of Williams Kherkher today by calling 800-761-3187.
