Every surgery carries the risk of infection.
Any time foreign objects interact with the environment inside of a person's body, there is a threat that a harmful organism will be introduced.
The body may not know what to do with this foreign intruder and an infection can form.
Because of this threat, doctors, surgeons and all cautious medical professionals take particular care to ensure thatproper hygiene is used to prevent infection.
What if all of the tools used in a surgery are perfectly clean, but products that are used as part of the procedure cause an infection? Is all the work done during the surgery for naught? This question has been raised by the use and introduction of a hernia-patch known as AlloDerm.
AlloDerm is a tissue matrix that takes the cellular formation from a cadaver and uses it as a patch in surgical repairs.
AlloDerm was intended to promote cellular growth in the patient, but has also been associated with the development of abscesses.
Abscesses are irritations that indicate the site of an infection.
These unsightly, pus-filled developments can be painful and harmful to a patient if they go untreated.
Abscesses indicate that an infection has developed and if untreated, can move into the blood stream, making the patient very sick.
AlloDerm failure in hernia repair surgeries and breast reconstruction surgeries have lead to the development of abscesses.
An abscess often requires additional medical attention which can be painful and costly.
In fact, not all abscesses form on the surface of the skin.
Abscesses can form on internal organs, causing significant damage.
This damage typically requires further medical aid, either in the form of surgery or a regiment of prescriptions.
If you believe that AlloDerm tissue failure has led to additional cost and damage to your health, you may deserve compensation for these losses.
