AlloDerm Infection Lawyer
AlloDerm is derived from donated skin tissue that has been carefully screened for potential contaminants. Because of this, the risk for infection is low. However, there is a risk for infection with any kind of surgical procedure, and if it occurs, the patient may be forced to deal with pain and costly corrective procedures.
If you have suffered an infection after an AlloDerm treatment and believe that negligence is to blame, you may have grounds for a legal case. To discuss your options with a knowledgeable AlloDerm infection attorney, call the offices of Williams Kherkher today at 800-761-3187.
Signs of Infection
Whenever a person undergoes a surgical procedure, such as a hernia treatment or reconstructive breast surgery, there is a possibility of infection, especially at the surgical site. If it is not treated promptly, an infection can spread, potentially affecting major organs and creating severe complications.
After surgery, every patient needs to be carefully monitored for potential signs of infection. These signs include:
- Swelling or hardening of skin at the surgical site
- Pain at the surgical site that increases over time
- Redness at the surgical site that darkens or spreads
- A fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or more
- Persistent fatigue or lethargy
If you begin to experience symptoms like these after any kind of surgery, you may be suffering from an infection. You need to contact your doctor right away so you can begin the proper treatment.
