Sepsis
Hernia repair often involves surgery using a mesh patch, such as the Alloderm hernia patch, placed over the injured area to prevent recurrence. Unfortunately, these products are associated with medical complications in a minority of cases. Staph infections, for example, are one potential problem that can arise from use of mesh hernia patches. Individuals who develop this infection are susceptible to further medical complications, including sepsis, a whole-body inflammatory response to an infection.
If you or someone you know has developed a medical complication following treatment with the Alloderm hernia patch, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your pain and suffering.

Sepsis Symptoms
Sepsis is an immune response to infection, so it is often associated with many of the same symptoms as the source of infection. However, some symptoms which are common to most cases of sepsis include:
- High or low body temperature
- Vomiting
- Organ damage
- Abnormal white blood cell count
Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening medical condition. Even with immediate and aggressive treatment, sepsis can be fatal.
