Released in 1994, Alloderm, manufactured by LifeCell Corporation, was first approved by FDA for burn treatment.  Today, its uses include hernia repair and breast reconstruction following a mastectomy. Alloderm injuries include infection, hernia recurrence, abscess, post-operative bulging, and pain/soreness. Abscess An abscess is a collection of pus in any part of the body that, in most cases, causes swelling and inflammation around it.  Abscess symptoms include redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function.  Wound abscesses cannot be treated with antibiotics. They require surgical intervention to drain the infected area. Infection An infection is an invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues.  Symptoms of infection include extreme fatigue, continued weight loss, low grade or spiking fever, night sweats and chills, and vague body aches and pain. Additional Alloderm Injuries Other injuries caused by Alloderm include inflammation, swelling, post-operative bulging, pain, and soreness.  In some cases, additional surgical procedures are required to address a hernia recurrence or to remove the defective mesh. How the Recall Affects You Based on the problems listed above, the manufacturers of Alloderm, LifeCell Corporation, issued a voluntary recall of Alloderm in 2005.  If you used Alloderm, you may be able to obtain compensation to help with your injuries.  Contact our Alloderm law firm today for a free consultation.
